Iris up for the taking

16 years ago

I've just divided a round of Iris--they grow very well in my yard--and now I have too many to re-plant. (About 50, with 50 more to be divided.)

I'd prefer them to gift a gardener rather than throw them in the compost. Or, if you'd like to do some trading, I'd love to have astilbe or sea holly (Eryngium Planum). Either way is no problem.

They've all been trimmed and rinsed for crown rot in 10% bleach solution. No Iris Borer issues.

Unfortunately, all the varieties are mixed up, but I can tell you they're non-bearded, most require staking during bloom season, and they range from deep purple to lilac.

I pulled them all this weekend and they're in the garage in mulch, so if you'd like them, takers this week would be best.

Thanks!

Hi! Am I too late for the Irises? I have a new garden to fill, and do not have any to trade unfortunately.

No, you're not too late! I have another round to dig up, and I was wondering what to do with them... If you'd like to arrange to come by this weekend, please reply to my personal e-mail, and I'll give you the directions.

Thanks!
