Rick Tasco says:
It can be sprayed right
over the top of the iris, but they must be rooted and in a growing
state. Of course, surflan doesn't kill weeds that are already there, so
the area must be weeded first. Surflan requires 1/2 inch of water to
seal and activate (this 1/2 inch of water must come within 21 days of
application).

Rick,
At what time of the year do you consider your iris in a growing state?
Most of my iris are doing something already this year and we have
already started with some of the spring weeds, rye grass and bind weed.
Is it too early for using the Surflan?
