Hello! I'm hoping someone here can help. I'm moving out of state in the next month or two. I have a lot of tall bearded iris that I want to take with me. Right now, most are covered in snow, but I can get to some of them. I still haven't checked to see if the ground is frozen, but it's in a raised bed against the house, so I may be able to dig in there.
I've transplanted lots of iris before, but I've never left them out of the ground for any length of time. How long is it okay to leave them out of the ground, and is there anything special that I should do after I dig them up? I've bought them bare root before, and they were really dry, but I'm not sure how long they'll last out of the ground. I don't have room in the moving van to pot them up before moving them, so I'm hoping to get them dug and left out of the ground for a while. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated!
