DaveinPA said:Some varieties are more sensitive to moving and replanting and take longer to bloom, some up to 3 years. Beyond that I tend to remove them also. Sand is almost devoid of all nutrients so will need something in the mild amendment category at times, but it is great for not letting the rhizomes sit in wet soil.


I agree. I had a much more difficult time in Northern New Jersey where the soil is Clay
than I do here in Southern New Jersey, and I have yet to amend any of my soil where the
Iris gardens are, and last Spring they bloomed their heads off, so I am pleased with the
results.
