Hey Everyone! I am planning to move to Ohio from New York at the end of this month, maybe early July. The movers won't move house plants, so I am thinking that I might need to rent a small uhaul to move all of them, lol. My bigger concern is moving my outside plants, namely the irises and daylilies. I know that generally the fall is the best time to transplant and move these flowers around, but unfortunately that won't be an option.

The irises have already bloomed, so I planned on cutting the leaves back when we get closer to the move. Do you think I'm better off putting them in pots with some potting soil, or just wrapping them in a damp cloth or newspaper? It will probably be about 3 or 4 days from when I would dig them up to when I would get a chance to replant them.

What about daylilies? They are just now starting to put up stalks to flower, but nothing has flowered yet. Do you think they are a lost cause and I should just leave them behind?

If it help, I don't have many of either variety. Maybe 4 or 5 different types of each.
allons-y!
