I live in the desert, so I have not experienced irises heaving out of the
ground like that. However, I was wondering if you planted the iris in pots
for a few weeks until they have roots down to the bottom of the pot, would
the irises still heave if you transplanted them from the pot into the
ground?
Also, if you plant the irises you receive with all the roots intact (we
shave them out here) will that anchor the iris and prevent heaving?
