I could add my own experience to this. I bought the
new land before selling my house and began planting
before ground is broken for the new house. I still
ordered new Iris even though they have to go into pots
so they can be moved to the new house when it is
built. Only complications is I now have two gardens
900 miles apart a long way to transfer pollen in
hybridizing a flower.
