Late summer gardening tips from UW Extension horticulturist
L M Berninger advises late summer as a good time to divide and transplant irises every three to four years, cut foliage to six inches, remove diseased rhizome portions, and shape in a fan. Water needs rise for dahlias after blooming, but avoid deep cultivation. mulch preserves moisture and cools soil. Taller chrysanthemums may need staking and outdoor mums from flowering pots often won’t bloom before frost. Geranium cuttings should be taken before night temps drop, using a peat moss and vermiculite perlite mix.
