Re: Re: Deep Planting/ Overwintering in Pots in Zones 3/4

For the last 3 winters I have had TB and median rhizomes that I left in their
pots outside overwinter.   I did, however, bury the pots up to the rim in the
garden, and I mulched them with loose mulch (I always use my dried corn
stalks) that doesn't pack down but keeps winter sun off the rhizomes.  I have
not lost a single iris this way.
