So nice of you
Thank you! Love this!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
How do you stamp/emboss your plant labels?
Tip - keep your pruners in a hip holster & you’ll never lose them in the garden
Thanks!
I find that Siberian irises don't store like German irises. You can't keep them out of the ground for very long, especially if you've washed all the soil off the roots. The rhizomes are not as succulent, don't retain moisture, and dry out fast. This kills the rhizome. It's good to know that you have to replant them asap as a part of any how to.
Thanks for the tip!
As an added interest maybe a yearly timing would have been of interest ...ie Spring, Summer' or Fall.....anytime
Thank you. Comment noted.
How can I protect iris roots and rhizomes from voles? I want to plant Siberian and Bearded in front of fence posts (post and rail horse fence) but recently discovered the voles have tunneled a line directly beneath the rails and around most posts (and I thought the rain had washed away the dirt). I have too many posts to cage with hardware cloth. I read about adding gravel/stones to the planting hole to surround each. Thought about sand too. Can you tell I'm new to this?
That is a tough situation. Haven't had luck with gravel but colleague had success with lava rock. Good luck
Is that native soil?
Some amendment but not a lot.
When I split the irises can the be dried our for Spring?
It is best not too. They can dry out and rot if you don't monitor them closely. Thanks for watching.
This was good information but she didn't mention that after you dig up the whole plant, it take 3 years to rebloom if not longer, I have dug up mine and took years to rebloom
Smaller divisions will take time to rebloom. If you have larger divisions and keep them well watered, we've had luck with them reblooming earlier.
I took all of mine when I moved houses and split some. They have all bloomed.
I was given siberian iris but didn't plant them. can they be stored over winter ? plant now? or are they dead? How do I know.
We suggest to put them in the ground, water well, and see what happens. Hard to tell if OK but they are pretty tough so a chance they will make it.
@@GardenGateMagazine Thank you. I did just that. Planted quickly in a temporary spot. If they survive I will transplant in the spring. BTW, great channel here. Lots of good information. Will post another ? separately in case others have the same issue.
