HI TheGardenerGuy I water mine during real dry weather to help them keep growing the risome root system soke them once a week during realy dry weather.since there the ones that will be you next years blooms.once the iris blooms the same plant will not bloom again.your new blooms come from your newer growth i also devide mine evry three years to make new iris beds but dont cover them to deep just enough soil to cover the risome root system.heres a link you should look at.

Hi!
My Iris last probably a week or two before the blooms die back. But i don't take care of mine lol. But they come back every year ^.^ They die back normally for me towards the beginning of August or end of July. Hope that helps![[Smile]](im/smile.gif)

We have watered them some the past couple days because of the drought we are having.
We get very leery about doing this tho with the borers that get into them and destroy them.
Any help on solutions to keep the borers out of our iris?

HI AGAIN i use sevin dust about 1 time every 2 weeks it seems to work for me.you might try it i use a coffee can with very small holes put in the bottom of it put the sevin dust in the can then just sprinkle it around the bottoms of the iris.reapply after a good rain.they make other products that will work to but the sevin dust is the least poisons to use.make sure you ware a dust mask when applying the dust.also here a link about the borers and other methods on how to rid your iris of them.
