Okay, today I REALLY have to plant these irises I received the other day that I haven't planted yet (planned to yesterday, but ran out of time). Since they aren't planted yet, I have time to adjust how I plant/prepare them, so here's the question:

Should I put them in a dilute bleach solution before planting to prevent disease/rot? Should I just soak them for awhile? How should I prepare them?

As for planting, I think I'm good on that (dig a hole, create a mound in the middle, lay roots gently over the mound, rhizome should end up at top of soil, barely covered.....did I get all of that right?)


Thank you for any help, sorry for the urgency/immediacy of the situation, but any last-minute advice would be greatly appreciated! I tip my hat to you.
