Leslie:
We are all gardeners first.... and from there we may specialize. But in order
to keep this list moving, I agree that we should limit our discussions to
irises and refer you to the hosta lists... of which there are two unrestricted
ones that I'm aware of through One-list.
But in the meantime, the objective of finding more room for IRISES is a noble
one. Since you are in NC, I think it's safe to dig up the hosta, determine
where you will divide, and separate out those eyes. You might take the
opportunity to amend the soil with some compost while you're at it before
replanting.
I wouldn't recommend this any further north.... but would suggest waiting for
spring.
