Bearded Iris rhizomes...good to plant now....named varieties
It's been so hot up until now that the thought of getting outside and digging up irises was put off until now.
Plenty of time for the rhizomes to put some roots down and get ready to hunker down for the winter in preparation for the spectacular show in Spring and Summer.
Bearded Irises are easy to grow. Come up year after year with metre high stalks with fist sized blooms. They like at least 5 hours sun a day. Very drought tolerant once established. Don't mind the frosts at all. Plant them with roots in the soil and rhizome on top of the soil so it can sunbathe.
The rhizomes will be fresh dug. $10 each.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
$10 for each good sized healthy rhizome.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
