Over wintering bearded Iris plants and Dutch Iris bulbs

9 years ago

I have recently purchased about 14 bearded Iris plants ( rhizomes) and 5 bags of Dutch Iris bulbs. I paid pennies for these, as season to plant in New Hampshire has passed. None of these have been planted or established. I want to try to somehow over winter thse to plant in the Spring. any suggestions?

I would be interested in this too. :)

do you have a cold room? ... we have one next to the basement, underground. It is unheated and around 5 degrees C all winter.... just above freezing. if you did have, it might be a consideration.

we also have an unheated attached garage but it does go below freezing in there.

I would be very interested in other answers. :)

For the bearded....As long as they stay completely dry, they should be fine until this spring. I kept several bags full over the winter last yr.
