Lots of votes on iris, so for an imo. My summer water bill gets high enough
that I mulch everything. I vary the thickness according to the plant. 1/2 -
1" over the iris - some other types of plants 4". Definitely when replanting
the tubers you want them just under the surface of the soil.

Definitely do 4" of mulch on the clematis.

Mint, any type I've ever tried is invasive.

Let me know how the caladiums grow, I've been looking at pictures and
drooling, but haven't ordered yet.

Are ya'll going to get tired of my questions? I hope not. Spring isn't
even here yet.

I like my iris to spread around. Is i put a LIGHT wood chip mulch on
them, can they still spread?
Thanks

Today, I bought 3 clematis vines, 12 buck caladium bulbs, 4 Texas sage
bushes, and a packet of spearmint. (I didnt want it, the roommate
wanted it) I cleaned out around my pond, pulled the rest of the
weeds, and carefully placed turtle and frog statues near the pond.
