Where are you located? I still have not gotten my order from
Stockton or Mary's garden. Here in MS it is best to get irises planted by
Oct. 1 in order for roots to establish to prevent heaving later on in our
freeze/thaw winter.
You might want to get some bricks to anchor the rhizomes if you
live in a severe winter area.
