what is the best time of the year to move Irises?

Thanks,

FWIW, in my experience it doesn't matter - note I said in "my"
experience. Our neighbor is moving and offered us the descendents of
the Iris we gave them 28 years ago when we moved in. We transplanted
them a month ago when Albuquerque's weather was right at 100º and it
didn't affect them or the tiger lilys in the least. They are now all
happily growing back in our front yard from whence they came. BTW, it
was in the month of July (1975) when we dug them out and gave them away
originally. Didn't bother them then either.

I agree with what Grandpa said. I divided and moved my Irises Late July and
they are doing fine.

Depends on the kind of iris: Rhizomatous ones move best in late
summer when they are dormant; bulbous ones in fall. However, if
you take some care, you can move them successfully almost any
time; just make sure they get watered after you move them.
