Hi Sally
My first gardens were roadside and they were given lots of salt for a winter
diet.
with the amount of snow we got it didn't seem to hurt them and both Iris and
daylillies bloomed in the area and increased.

Our home and iris beds are below the road level. This year the town has
spread a unusually huge quantity of salt on our roads due to the constant
snow and ice. The plows have pushed a ton of it onto my lawn.
Can anyone tell me if this will harm my iris as the melting begins and the
salted water drains down through my gardens?
