IRIS ROOTS
We have iris roots above the ground and would like to move the roots to another area, which is the best time to move the roots? The roots I will not be moving, should I just cover them with soil?

Re: IRIS ROOTS
Iris are really easy to move, divide and replant. There are a few previous thrads about this. Here is one.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Re: IRIS ROOTS
Iris corms like to lay on the surface, with roots extending straight down out of the bottom surface of the corm into the soil. You can throw a bit of soil on them if it makes you feel better - irises are virtually indestructible! Here are some of mine from last spring - have been ignored, dug up by squirrels, and nipped by the mower on occasion. Last fall I dug them all out and what neighbors did not take I threw into the back yard around my new SFG box. Another month and I should be able to see what took. Some are even still on the back patio in a tub that never got thrown onto the soil - just found it when the snow melted.
