Have some irises that hardly bloom anymore. I want to move them to a place that will be a little sunnier, altho my yard

Ellen H on Oct 27, 2012For us in the southeast, now is a good time. The iris can possibly be re-established by spring and have a chance to bloom. They can also be moved in the spring after blooming.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Oct 27, 2012I used to grow iris, but have gotten away from them. They will grow almost anywhere and bloom really good. I have always heard they need to be separated occasionally as they get choked out and the rizzone (sp) has to be out of the ground. If you have had them a long time, this is probably your problem.Helpful Reply

Louise on Oct 27, 2012Yes, I've had them many years. Hopefully, by moving and separating, spring will show some nice blooms.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Oct 29, 2012Ellen is right, this is a very god time to move your irises. Put them where they get as much light as possible, and make sure not to plant the rhizomes too deeply.Helpful Reply

Jaye L on Jan 03, 2013Transplanting them now is good. However, whenever I've transplanted some irises, I didn't get a bloom until the next year so keep that in mind. Don't give up on them if you don't seem them blooming right away!Helpful Reply
