I just planted over 100 Iris, almost all of them the roots were dryed
up and not alive. I removed all of them, placed the iris on the pile
of soil and then covered them with a thin layer of soil too. We're
still having full sunny days with temps of between 85F to 90F.
Plus they are now saying we'll have another cold/dry winter like
last year.
