Moving forward my plan is to get a couple of nursery beds ready for newbies. They will be irises only, and new varieties will grow there until they can be divided. At that point divided clumps will go into the mixed garden, where I can install an instant clump of 5 or 6 rhizomes. These will gradually replace some old historics and noids that I have multiple clumps of throughout the gardens. I'm thinking this will decrease my need for potting, but those that need extra TLC will still be potted, and if its terribly hot and dry I may still pot them too.
