My husband, Rod, and I bought a home in Sequim, WA, on the Olympic Peninsula.
This is a dry area (annual rainfall averages 15"), but we have a year-round
irrigation ditch running across our property. We are planning to move in
mid-May.

I would like to move some of my perennials from my Wilmington, DE garden. I am
planning to divide the plants, and leave half in their current locations, while
bringing half with me. Specifically, I would like to bring daylilies,
goldenrods and irises.

Questions:
1. Would these plants do well in Sequim?

2. The weather has warmed in Wilmington, and the leaves are beginning to grow.
Would it be better to divide the plants now (before really vigorous growth
starts), or wait until just before we move?

3. What is the best way to transport them? Earth is too heavy. Would bare roots
be better, or packed in moist peat moss, shredded newspaper, or other media?

Suggestions appreciated.
