Although we have two modest Iris beds that are over 15 years old, I am a
neophyte at dividing them and have run into a problem that I hope someone can
help me with.
I set out last year to divide one of the beds since they had become choked
and crowded over the years. I did everything "by the book", cutting,
cleaning and re-planting. The problem is, they came up this year with
healthy-looking foliage but not a single flower. I gave some away to friends
and they report the same thing--healthy foliage but no flowers. My question:
is it normal for divided iris to not bloom the first year and if not, does
anyone have a clue as to what I've done wrong. I'm in zone 6, 40 miles north
of NYC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
