Default When to divide Siberian Iris?

zxcvbob wrote:

I have a few clumps of Siberian iris in a neglected corner of my
vegetable garden. I'm trying to clean it up and get all the grass out.
The iris are surprisingly healthy in spite of being overrun with
grass. Can I dig them now, pull all the grass stollens (sp?) out, and
move them (the irises) to the flower bed? Or should I wait until fall?
Thanks.

Bob,

You can transplant them now but I would wait until fall. It would also
be a good idea to feed them about once a month until you transplant them.
