Photo of Fall and Winter questions for new Iris gardener

As irisMA pointed out, irises planted during July should not have a lot of problems with
spring heaving unless they are in the colder regions. Pic of a pair of irises potted in a
4 gal+ pot in early July. Dug for a special trade. Note the roots--new roots nearly a
foot long and the original roots decayed. That is why I fertilize the bottom 1/3 of a pot
so as to force new root growth.
