Hello Judy, welcome to Iris Talk. I think the best thing you can do with your cherished irises is to plant one or two of each variety in pots and plan to grow them in pots until they can find a permanent home. Iris rhizomes can survive a maximum of about 3 months out of the ground, and some won't survive that long. However they do well in pots in a mixture of sand, soil and potting mix. They should be given partial shade so as not to be allowed to get too hot. Some people grow them in pots all the time. Good luck on your move.

Hi everyone,
I just joined your chat group because I thought perhaps someone may have had my same experience. I want to dig up my many iris and take them with me on an out-of-state move. I will probably be in a rental before I find permanent residence. How long will the rhizomes last without being planted? Is there some special treatment I can give them to make them last until they are planted? All help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have had these iris since 1984 and would really hate to lose them or have to say "Good-bye" to them.
Sincerely,
Judy Barber
