What season does iris grow?
Iris grow and bloom anywhere from early to late Spring and early Summer. Here in south Louisiana, iris bloom in March and early April. I have one bloom left outside now (April 28th). The usual advice is to remove seed pods as soon as they form; however, I usually let one or two mature and then throw the seeds in the back of the bed to (possibly) grow new plants. Many iris varieties are known as 'walking iris' because they have a tendency to slowly grow away from where they were originally planted. I once had to cut out a thick growth of iris that was nearly impossible to dig up. Now, I try to cut back the iris in the front of the bed with a weed whacker (Weedeater(r)) to discourage spreading. Iris are very easy to grow. The Louisiana Iris likes wet areas, and are often used to dry up a wet spot in the garden.
Can you regrow irises from a cut flower?
No, you cannot regrow irises from a cut flower. Irises propagate through their rhizomes, which are underground stems, rather than from cut flowers. To grow new irises, you need to divide the rhizomes of existing plants or plant iris bulbs. Cut flowers do not have the necessary structures to produce new plants.
How long does an iris live?
Iris plants spread by root. In the spring you can see this by noticing that the iris is producing a ring of new sprouts rather than from the center as planted originally. If divided (cut ring into for equal sections and replant) once in awhile the iris will live as long as you want. Each section can be planted in a new location in the garden.
Can you dig up iris plants and store them and re-plant them next spring?
Yes, you can dig up iris plants in late summer or early fall after they have finished blooming. Carefully lift the clumps, cut back the foliage, and store them in a cool, dry place until replanting in the spring. Make sure to store them with good air circulation to prevent rot.
