Re: Historic Iris Order Received

Dear Bill and all others who might help:

I have three Siberian plants - one each in its own pot - that is 
overgrowing the sides.

I know that their "roots" are different - but I don't have a clue on the 
proper division of them.  It seems that the "roots" run around in a 
circle in the pot.  Will each "root" make a new plant - or should a 
number of the roots be in a clump for planting?  How often does one 
divide them, and what is the procedure for cutting the foliage away?  Any 
help is requested and appreciated.  Donna from Washington State - Region 13
