I know it is recommended to lift/divide iris well after they have bloomed- late summer. Has anyone successfully lifted iris as soon as early June or even while they are blooming?

desertwoman, I have moved them after immediately after blooming many times. I cut the leaves back and make sure to baby them for a few weeks until they're established in their new homes. Sometimes my bearded irises even bloom the following year.

I've never transplanted until well after blooming is over, but I rarely moved them unless the squirrels had already done so. They were experts at moving tulips, then I noticed that one iris appeared next to the garage, and it wasn't me who moved it.

I planted some Moss Rose seed that I saved. Never done it before. After planting, I read about them, it said to refrigerate for a week....nope. They were in fruit room at 58* all Winter. They sprouted in 3 days, a gazillion of them. Think I planted them too soon.....  |
