Irises
We made a new garden in the fall of 2012. At that time, nothing was there but grass or so it appeared. I did find what I believed to be peony roots when I started raking the ground after digging. Spring of 2013, nothing, but found out, my dd weeded my iris and pulled up the lovely red plants poking out of the ground thinking they were weeds. I have peonies coming up in 5 places! We dug this area up with a backhoe originally. (New house to me) Can I dig/move them now? Everything I have read says fall. If that is the case, what do I do with them now? They are about 2" tall and growing in the midst of my iris bed. Has anyone had any luck with moving them in the spring? Our lows are still in the mid 20-mid 40 range. Thanks for all your help!
