Iris prep picture
1. Write name on foliage., remove from garden and wash off. I use a scrub brush on the rhizomes.
2. Soak in a 10 percent solution of bleach water, one cup bleach to nine cups of water. for 10 minutes,
3. Trim foliage and discard, do not compost. Let dry. I usually package in a brown paper bag with a picture of the bloom and a garden marker. Vinyl blinds make great markers.
