Hi Folks,
I have a row of Iris's that only a few bloom each year. They (not all) turned yellow & brown then wilted to nothing. I really have not done anything to them or taken care of them so maybe that could be the problem. I see them in fields of old farms that have been abandoned for years that look good so I'm thinking maybe I have those Iris borers that I read about.
Regardless, I was going to dig them up to move them. I dug one up to look at the root or bulb to see if I could see any bugs or borer. I didn't see anything. My questions are:
* When I dig them should I do anything particular to them before planting them in their new location. Should I spray them with some kind of borer killer.
* How would I tell if these have that borer?
* Should these be planted together in a group instead of a row? Every garden I see has them in groups not rows.
Thank you for your time.
Joel.
