Siberian iris roots

2 years ago

Hi all, I am planting to plant about 10-12 Siberian iris in a certain location. Looking at online sources, I found one company (Eden Brothers) that sells as roots. I've only planted S. iris as plants before. Will roots planted this fall be as strong and grown as well in the spring as plants would be? Also, any other suggestions for places to p urchase these would be welcome.

Thanks!

fall planted siberian iris come as leaf trimmed rhizomes with roots and should do well as long as they go in before your ground is freezing...

I think our club has ordered from Cascadia Iris gardens before

@Ann....I just purchased striking dark purple Siberian Iris from Hardings Nursery here in Southern Colorado Springs. $13.50 each gallon pot. They were in bloom, about 6 fans in a pot. Choice! If your coming down my way...or contact the nursery...maybe they'd ship them?

I've divided Siberian Iris before...they will divide nicely...but it does set them back.

Ooops...didn't noitce this post is a year old....you may not need this information....
