Move Iris Now Says Volz
Iris may be planted any time of year but best just after blooming to reduce injury. Volz of Iowa State College advises against unnecessary watering unless soil is very dry and spaces plants 12 inches apart in borders or 18 inches for individual clumps. Iris root rot is manageable by digging up infected plants, cleaning wounds with mercuric chloride, burning debris, and replanting in fresh soil. Some growers dry root stalks briefly in the sun before replants.
