Bearded iris transplanting tips from Iowa State extension

July is ideal for dividing bearded iris says Ben F. Vance of Iowa State University. Prepare soil, dig a shallow hole, place rhizomes on a soil cone, spread roots, and firm soil. Plant shallow so rhizomes sit about 1 inch below surface, water after, and space divisions 10 to 12 inches. Cut leaves to one third height and mulch. Also notes on pruning older rose canes and strawberry renovation for higher future yields with instructions to visit extension office or request PM 224 Rev.
