- Now that all the new trees have been planted, it’s time to divide and transplant iris we dug up in order to plant our new bushes. Generally Iris patches need to be dug up divided inspected and replanted ever 3-5 years to keep them happy. If Iris fail to bloom they may have been planted too deeply, have diseases or not enough sunlight.
While early spring isn’t the ideal time to transplant bearded iris, they are tough and will survive even though they haven’t blossomed. When dividing, it’s important to inspect and remove diseased parts of Iris Rhizomes including soft, mushy or rotting sections, leaf blight or dying brown leaves. Once inspection is completed a quick bleach bath can assist in removing any lingering fungus or insects and begin transplanting. To help hold Iris in place, we often place a stone on top of the Rhizome until the roots are established. When transplanting, remember Iris prefer to grow in areas that are generally clean and debris-free.

I'm finally planting my lot in the ground this week. I can't wait for spring :)
You are not alone Mary. While it has been cold and gloomy most of April, we were able to sneak in a couple of days of planting. Each time we planted the following day was perfect rain. Today is the first morning the sun is actually out, and it finally looks like a nice Mother's Day weekend. Happy Spring. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn www.WisconsinGarden.com
Happy to see you again!
Hello Nina. Happy Spring & Mother's Day. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn www.WisconsinGarden.com
I have the same type of Iris and LOVE the smell of them!
Ah the smell is delightful when in full bloom. Reminds both Richard and I of our grandparents gardens. Happy Spring. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn www.WisconsinGarden.com
My mamma got a clump of these from her Mamma that started out as maybe 6 fans. Over 20 years, they spread all down the south end of her house. When I bought my home, she gave me a clump in a white plastic Glad trash bag that I was worried about since they were in my dad's truck for 3 weeks before they remembered. I planted them late July and many of them bloomed in late September that year. Then, their first proper spring last year. She passed in January, but the plants she gave me these past 5 years have become a hope and joy this spring. They only receive full sun until around 2 each day, so I'm hoping that's enough to keep them blooming. Or, I'll be rewatching this video when it's time to transplant to a sunnier spot.
What a beautiful memory that's being passed down to you. Hope you'll be able to pass this down as well. Iris are sturdy and strong as long as they aren't planted too deeply. We have several other videos that show how and what we do in late summer and early fall regarding inspecting, dividing and transplanting iris.

Good morning Erica. Aren't they amazing. Can you imagine designing a flower? What a gift of nature. They are survivors and thrivers and probably can grow in nearly all soil types. Glad yours are doing well. Happy Spring. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn www.WisconsinGarden.com

Good morning Jimmy. Great minds always think alike. Enjoy the fragrance of Iris. Happy Spring. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn www.WisconsinGarden.com
I love Iris too. Its one of my first plants that got me into gardening. I wish I lived near you. I have been wanting those grape koolaid smelling iris for years. My Iris are really putting on a show here in western Ky. Ive been posting some on my facebook page.
Good morning Lana. The sun is actually out this morning. Hopefully the gloomy clouds will finally give way to Spring allowing everything to start blooming. We've had enough rain so far so all should be doing well. Perhaps it's time for a cross country trip up north. Happy Spring. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing.

Good morning May. They are amazing survivors with great variety. Happy Spring. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard www.WisconsinGarden.com
Had some iris kill them now I know why will try again. Happy Mother's Day. Be safe
Good morning Rebecca. I would check with your local garden center or nursery and ask them what type of iris they recommend for your area. Just remember not to plant them too deeply. They are really sturdy plants. Happy Mothers Day to you as well. Happy Spring. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn www.WisconsinGarden.com
i LOVE Iris;s they;re so pretty tys i learned a lot :)
We too can't wait until they root and blossom all over our gardens. TKS Lynn & Richard
I love iris! We had iris at our last place but not at our new.
Good morning Jackie. Sounds like an excuse to go shopping at your garden center especially if you have a blank canvas to create. Happy Spring. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn www.WisconsinGarden.com
Hi Lynn and Richard thanks again. Iris is easy to grow and they multiply every year. I had few varieties and gave it away. This year it is still cold and grass is growing crazy, since we had lot of rain. How do you add blood meal/bone meal to these tubers. I have tried it and usually animals dig them out. Enjoyed watching your preparations. Have a good safe spring. See you soon.
Hello Nathan. We do not use any additives when planting iris other than the local soil. Maybe the smell attracts those critters. Today was the first really nice day in a long time. Got a lot finished outside. Happy Spring and hope your snow melts soo and the soil begins to warm. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn www.WisconsinGarden.com
I learned something about the borer and disease. I hope my Iris don't get infected. I have never divided them they just keep going. Is fall the best time to divide them?
Good morning Cynthia. It pays to dig up and inspect your iris bed every 3-5 years to keep the rhizomes happy and healthy. It also allows you to divide and start new areas as well. The best time to do this is in summer after all the blooms have finished and leaves starting to turn brown. We have several other video blogs listed by topics of interest showing how we do this. If you don't have our list of videos, visit our website and request your free copy. Happy Spring. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn www.WisconsinGarden.com
I was just thinking of digging up my irises! How did you know? If I do it now before they bloom, will they bloom yet this year?
Good morning Lisa. Normally we don't replant our iris until after they bloom. But we are confident that despite transplanting them some may bloom this year while other may take this year to fully develop their roots and thrive next year. We will see how well it works out and share in upcoming videos. Happy Spring. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn www.WisconsinGarden.com
Great video. I might have missed it but if a rhizome has roots but no leaves (such as the large one in the center (the mother rhizome), should I plant that rhizome without leaves.?
Hello Maxine. As long as the Rhizome is solid and has roots, you plant it leaving the top half of the Rhizome positioned slightly above ground level to absorb sun energy. In most cases it should continue to grow and eventually start producing leaves. Thank you again for taking time to watch, care and share.
