Q: I am moving to another house, so I want to dig up some iris bulbs and take them with me. Do I need to replant them right away or wait until spring? (e-mail reference)

To ensure a good bloom, we recommend thinning iris clumps every three or four years. In the late summer, dig up the clump, separate the new rhizomes, and replant.

When you dig and replant an older iris bed, it is good to dig and put in separate places, with the name tag, on each clump. When replanting, divide the clumps and save at least 3 nice rhizomes and put them, toes together, in a close clump and let them multiply from that position.

Hi Kim: With so many iris I think it would be dificult if not impossible to dig, bleach, replant 10,000 iris. This is probably only practical with a small garden. Have you actually seen the borers? How many of your iris are infested?

1. Dig the Clump ... 4. Replant the divisions; Always plant bearded irises in a sunny location with good drainage. First check for any borer pup ae in the soil if you are replanting in the same location. Destroy them, or they will emerge in fall as moths and lay eggs on or near the new plantings.

To divide the iris, dig up the clump using a spading fork or loosen soil all around and under the clump [2], taking care not to cut the rhizomes growing near the outer edge.
