I would like to mail some Iris this week, but am not sure about how much (or if) I should cut back the leaves. These are all good-sized plants that did not blossom this year, but probably will next, and I'm afraid if I hack them it will set them way back.
The leaves are all still very green and many like this one are sending up new shoots.
I've been babying them for three years after separating a solid mass of rhizomes that were no longer blossoming, and I had to bury some quite deeply because they barely had any roots. One finally flowered this spring, and the rest have developed nice, strong root systems.
Any advice on sending them off would be greatly appreciated.
Also, what would be best at this point for those - like this one, that has it's rhizome slightly covered but is sprouting new leaves?
Thanks, Shelley
