Iris cutting

20 years ago

If you cut Irisis will a new one bloom? I mean after they die can you cut them and a new one come back.

Only the re-bloomers.

In 99% of the cases, this has not been true with the rebloomers.

Maybe in CA, but not in MS and AL is next door.

Nor do irises act like roses, etc. that will produce more flowers after being pinched back.

I was too brief with my answer. You are correct Walter. When you cut-off a stalk you won't get a rebloom when you cut it back. With rebloomers you will eventually get another bloom.... probably a few monthes from the previous bloom. The stalk is it for the season. Which is why I cut off only the ones that are laying down OR only have a last few blooms left.
(That will teach me to be too brief.)
