Many types of ireses are pretty tough. I have successfully transplanted
irises in midsummer. I suspect that moving them now would work fine.

Elizabeth,
Instead of the yarn, have you tried using the ties that come with the
bread/hot dog buns(they come in different colors too). You can also use
the ties that are available at the grocery stores for tying the veggie
bags.
Hi all,
I've got a bed of bearded iris that are blooming now. There are 2
colors.
This Fall, I want to weed out one of the colors. I previous tried tying
yarn
around the ones I wanted to remove when they were in bloom, but when I
went
to dig them out in the Fall, the yarns had all disappeared. Does anyone
have
a better method for marking? The rhizomes are pretty crowded, so I need
to
be precise. The foliage dies back but stays there to some extent.
Any/all
ideas appreciated.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
