| Where in the Salt Lake valley, Utah, is the best time to separate and transplant Irises? |

 I think Bearded Iris are divided and planted at the same time everywhere - mid to late summer.

| Hi Dianne! I begin to divide my irises 4-6 weeks after they've finished blooming. Must get them in the ground at least 6 weeks before frost if you experience cold winters. “In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.” --John Muir (1838-1914) |

| Hi Dianne, Welcome. Hope you stay around as there will be many lovely pictures in the next few months. What part of the Salt Lake Valley? I am in Millcreek City formerly East Millcreek. We have a member in West Valley City also and others in Utah. Have you ever attended our Iris Shows in May in the Sugarhouse Garden Center? |

| I am located in KY, but I have been sending my daughter near SLC iris in early August. She is a non gardener but has sent pics of her pretty iris blooms. Utah must be a good state to grow the in. At least I doubt you have the wet and damp to deal with like here. Are there any large iris gardens with in 50 mi of SLC? Thank you. Bee Kind, make the world a better place. |

| No commercial gardens any more. Only residential gardens but there are six or seven of those that welcome guests. One of our members who has been winning a lot of blue ribbons lately has a lovely garden according to her facebook page. She is in West Valley and haven't visited yet. Another grower with a smaller garden lives just a few blocks from me. I wouldn't say I have a beautiful garden, but do have a lot of beautiful iris. You're right, no wet and damp. In fact we are the 2nd driest state in the US and parts of our state got only about 50% of the usual moisture over the winter. Nowhere did we reach normal. We depend on the snow in the mountains to supply our water for the rest of the year; luckily we had a really good year in 2017. |
