Re: Yellow Iris

The holes in your rhizomes maybe where old roots were and this is normal. I
don't know where you're located, but my advice is to plant now. Even if you
only dig a shallow trench and cover the rhizomes. If you're in the north you
can pot them til spring planting. If none of these things are possible put
them in a paper bag in the closet til spring. The goal is to keep the
rhizomes from drying out completely.

> I was given some yellow iris tuburs the other day and was wondering they
have alot of little holes in them. Are they still good? Can I overwinter the
tuburs in my basement before putting them out in the spring or should I go
head and plant them?
