UndertheSun said:Before moving, I would give the irises a deep soaking so the roots soak up enough moisture into the rhizomes. Then when it's time, I would dig what you want and cut back the leaves. Then let the rhizomes dry out before placing them in paper bags with breathing holes cut into the sides of the bags. That should help control any mold that may grow on the rhizomes. You also want to write the name of the iris on the bags, or if the names are unknown, the colors. I wouldn't continue to leave the irises in the bags, they need to breath, or they will get moldy and/or rot. So remove them at your new place and lay them out in the cool shade until they can be planted.

When you have time, check out the different threads here, as so many have irises in bloom now!
There are many wonderful members here, and quite knowledgeable too. Also we have an up-to-date complete database, not only for irises, but all other plants as well.
