Re: Re: Yellow Iris

Hi Cindy,
I have a cold basement and I am going to pot them up tomorrow and keep them down there for the winter. We had a fairly hard freeze last night so I worry about putting them in the ground now. The area that they are going to go in is right out in the open.

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.

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?
