  • My Iris are done blooming so I am sharing with you the Iris care after blooming that I tackle this week.
    #iris #flowerpatchfarmhouse #pruning
    There are different ways to do this, I am sharing how I get it done and I have had no problems. And I also share digging up an Iris that is in the wrong spot, you will be able to see just how healthy it is as the mass is huge.
    At the end I give you a quick tour of my Iris in bloom in the Secret Garden.
    I speak about Garden Zones and here is the link to the video I mention: • Garden by zone? (what ...

    Beautiful "secret garden". I love how dense your gardens are. They're just packed with flowers.

      They are! Many are volunteers and I love the wild look, plus it helps choke out weeds. I just edit out what I don't want or I move some to other areas.

      Awesome! Thank you! Yes, it can be too messy for some folks but when you plant everything so close to each other it is amazing how it just disappears. Or if it doesn't I let it dry a couple days the kick some soil over it to hide it, if it seems unsightly but mostly I just let it decay on its own and feed the worms.

    Do you add dried blood and bone to your sheet compost to replace the nitrogen that decomposition takes from the soil?

    • @FlowerPatchFarmhouse
      @FlowerPatchFarmhouse  14 дней назад

      It won't rob it from the soil sitting on top, the addition of chicken manure in the fall more than makes up for any nitrogen deficiency. I don't use bonemeal: www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/bone-meal/

    Those flowers were always so pretty but they don’t bloom for very long. Do they do better in the ground other than pots?

    • @FlowerPatchFarmhouse
      @FlowerPatchFarmhouse  11 месяцев назад

      No, I wouldn't say so but they are lovely even if brief like daffodils and tulips. Mine bloom for about 3 weeks then other flowers start to bloom and takeover the show.

    Good to know iris can be moved earlier than I thought.

    • @FlowerPatchFarmhouse
      @FlowerPatchFarmhouse  3 года назад

      They are really tough plants and take a lot of abuse but still keep on blooming. If one has not increased well I will not move it until 6 weeks after bloom just to make sure I don't lose it but most of mine get so thick after a couple years I rarely have one like that.

    Thank you so much. I enjoyed your video. Do you have a video on growing Irises in pots? I live in California zone 9b. It’s very hot here. I just got some bare root Irises. I plan to put them in pots. After they bloom do I dig them up to replant for the following year? Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾

    • @FlowerPatchFarmhouse
      @FlowerPatchFarmhouse  3 года назад

      I am in the process of making a video on growing bearded Iris in pots. I lived in California 9b for 15 years and grew bearded iris just fine in the garden beds. They do not mind the heat at all and will thrive. In fact one of my favorite iris gardens to purchase rhizomes from is in zone 9b.
      No you do not need to dig them up until they are ready to be divided and that is typically in approximately 3 years like many perennials.

      Thank you so much 😊. Where do you purchase your Iris’s from? I found a few at Green Acres Nursery. I appreciate your help. Should I wait a few more weeks before I plant them? It’s so hot here. Blessings 🙏🏾

    my irises have tiny red bugs all over on the leaves. what are they and how do i get rid of them?

    • @FlowerPatchFarmhouse
      @FlowerPatchFarmhouse  5 месяцев назад

      First, is there noticeable damage to the leaves? It is hard to say what it is without seeing it and it could be a helpful predatory mite that eats bad bugs which then you would not want to kill it.
      Is there any webbing present? If so then it could be red spider mites which do post a problem but rarely are they visible. So it is hard to say. You could try spraying them off with a power nozzle. Usually spider mites become a problem in hot dry conditions.

      Both, I trim back the foliage in Fall when I dig the ones I need to divide and I will cut back some foliage of the others not being moved if I get to it. If not it is no big deal. Then I trim what foliage looks damaged or ugly in Spring as needed.

      Those are foxgloves. They are a biennial though you can find some that will bloom the first year from seed. Here is a link to how I seed them in my garden: ruclips.net/video/xCVTeahmy5M/видео.html

    • @FlowerPatchFarmhouse
      @FlowerPatchFarmhouse  3 года назад +1

      Like Tulips, Iris bloom for a few weeks to a month in Spring and then they are done for the season. That is their nature. Some are rebloomers but rebloomers do not bloom again until late summer/fall.
