How do you transplant Iris'?

To transplant irises, start by selecting a cool, cloudy day to minimize stress on the plants. Carefully dig up the iris clumps, ensuring you preserve the roots, and clean off excess soil. Replant them in well-drained soil, spacing them about 12 to 18 inches apart, with the rhizomes just above the soil surface. Water the transplants thoroughly and provide some shade until they establish in their new location.
