| Yes, you have to divide them every few years. I get tired just thinking about it. Here are some beautiful mass plantings for you to drool over. Marte divides her irises about every three years. Renee |

| Thank goodness iris grow so close to the top of the soil. Unfortunately, around here iris growers tend to divide in JULY! Hot, dry, hard work. I tend to divide earlier & after a rain when it is much easier. |

| What a dream Marte's Iris gardens are!!! I divide way before they reach such abundant display in order to cover large areas in my garden. One day... Dividing them is a wonderful problem to have. I would invite a bunch of Iris lovers enthusiasts, have a garden party, and let them do the work in exchange of food, beverages, and free divisions of any plants they fall in love with :). |
