Dear Amy,
I don't know where you live, but sometimes I, in Texas, divide just after bloom. This is sometimes better for rebloomers than in the fall. To help avoid rot, water the newly replanted irises with a sprinkling can full of a combination of water and liquid antibacterial
soap, such as Dial. I use 1/4th cup of soap in 1 gal. of water. If you see rot developing, scrape away all the soft mush, and wet the remaining surface with the liquid soap undiluted. It has worked every time for me.

This year I have some beds that are getting overgrown, and need to be
seperated.
The problem is that some are really close, and I want to make sure I label
them correctly.
My question is do I seperate now, or how would I label them good enough
that when I do my usual dividing in July-Sept that I don't loose get them
mixed up.
Can I just move them right now? I have read that dividing now leads to
increased chances of rot. I do treat with comet, and perform a bleach bath on
anything that looks suspicious.
I just purchased more of the zinc plant labels, and am really addicted now. :)
I can't wait for my new catalogs to start arriving. I ordered a bunch from
Sutton's last year and am amazed at the amount of blooms I got the first year.
I am already looking at areas to kill grass and bring out the rototiller.
Thanks for any help.
Amy
