Bearded Iris rhizomes...good to plant now....named varieties
It's been so hot up until now that the thought of getting outside and digging up irises was put off until now.
Plenty of time for the rhizomes to put some roots down and get ready to hunker down for the winter in preparation for the spectacular show in Spring and Summer.
Bearded Irises are easy to grow. Come up year after year with metre high stalks with fist sized blooms. They like at least 5 hours sun a day. Very drought tolerant once established. Don't mind the frosts at all. Plant them with roots in the soil and rhizome on top of the soil so it can sunbathe.
The rhizomes will be fresh dug. $10 each.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
$10 for each good sized healthy rhizome.
