Hi --
Anyone have a secret for keeping tall irises from falling over?
I have a plot 10' x 3' of bearded irises. They bloomed pretty good
this year but last Tuesday they were really something. Forty inches
tall -- give or take an inch -- with 2 or 3 blooms on each stalk.
Well, today they are a mess. Some totally on the ground,
some bent halfway down. Some stems are actually snapped
as if the weight of the flower is too much for the stalk to support.
There has been a fair amount of rain this spring (NJ, Z6) which
may be a contributing factor. Any advice will be appreciated.
TIA
