I'm new here , but have been posting at rec.gardens.edible for some time
now . Rather than pester those folks , I thought I'd ask here .
When is a good time to rake the leaves and stuff back off the Iris and
similar bulb plants ? We live in a clearing out in the woods , and they get
covered with leaves in the fall . Right now we have daffodils budding and
starting to bloom , but those will bloom thru snow . I'm looking for a
generalization , like after danger of hard freeze or something like that .
I'm just not sure how hardy these are , and this has been a really strange
winter (North central Arkansas , ~1500 ft elevation on the Ozark Plateau) .
