Iris Questions
I got several Iris last year and the year before. They are not doing well in the place where I have them planted. Right now they are basically where my orchids are, beneath the shade of a big tree. It is too shady, I think. The symptoms are that they are thin and scraggly and have not had flowers this year even though when I bought some they were in bloom. I would like to move them, possibly to a small raised bed more in the sunlight for next year. Should I do this now? (fall) or pull them up, store them, and plant next spring?
Any Iris people out there with opinions? I am in New Mexico. The winters are fairly mild but we can get snow and pretty cold. It rarely gets beneath "0" F.
