I agree. Better early. The standard around here is to get bearded irises
planted by mid August. But a few years ago, Sandy started planting in July.
They do much better.

feels balmy compared to Wednesday.

I try to make sure all irises are in the ground before the end of July,
but Mpls is a zone warmer than I. They might be able to extend planting
to mid-Aug safely. Better early than sorry, though.
