irises - digging up and replanting
I've a little patch of irises which have been fine for a few years but
the weeds growing between them have become almost impossible to control so I resolved to dig the whole lot up (I realise this might be a bit late in the season) and replant. A lot of the rhizomes have broken off a developing plant. See pic:- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10508583/im%201.jpg -should these simply be discarded or do they have a future for a new plant? Here is a pic of a new devloping iris. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10508583/im%202.jpg I noted in one youtube video the presenter trimmed the long roots quite short. Is their any advantage in doing that? I have quite a few of these http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10508583/im%203.jpg - which are tiny and without any rhizome to speak of. Do these normally survive being dug up and replanted? Many thanks if anyone can offer some advice... |
