Re: iris culture

Hello Pearl,

If you have a place to plant them in the ground, I wouldn't bother 
with pots.  The reason not to plant in the ground is the chance of 
frost heaving - not very likely in your location.  The bigger problem 
for you and all the rest of us in this part of Texas is the current 
drought.  If I recall correctly, you have access to lake water so a 
couple of good soakings should remedy that for the rhizomes.  I 
planted some being held in pots in the ground today.  I'm just late 
because I didn't have the spot ready, but I've planted successfully 
throughout the winter months in my location.  I can only remember 
rhizomes heaving one time in the last 24 years - only once in the 
winter and not many at that.
