is NOT very sunny. Can I do the transplant now or is it better to do it another time?

For 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.

I 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.

Yes, I've had them many years. Hopefully, by moving and separating, spring will show some nice blooms.

Ellen 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.

Transplanting 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!
