Help! We have had unseasonably warm temperatures here in Wis for the past
two to three weeks. I mean 20-25 degrees above normal for this time of year.
Today, I noticed that 75% of the new rizomes I planted about a month ago
have new growth. Unfortunately, the warm spell is about to end and upper
30's are being predicted within the next 2-3 days. First frost is soon to
follow. What kind of damage is this going to do to the new rizomes? Is
there anything I can do to help? Spring was a month late, now fall is the
same, go figure.
Iris in Milw. where last year we had snow on Oct. 20.
PS: I have about 48 hours to fix this if there is a fix. Please help.
