#iris #flowerpatchfarmhouse #pruning
There are different ways to do this, I am sharing how I get it done and I have had no problems. And I also share digging up an Iris that is in the wrong spot, you will be able to see just how healthy it is as the mass is huge.
At the end I give you a quick tour of my Iris in bloom in the Secret Garden.
I speak about Garden Zones and here is the link to the video I mention: • Garden by zone? (what ...

I love the sheet composting tip!!! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! Yes, it is so easy to do and works great.
I just happen to have some iris I need to do this to...
Beautiful "secret garden". I love how dense your gardens are. They're just packed with flowers.
They are! Many are volunteers and I love the wild look, plus it helps choke out weeds. I just edit out what I don't want or I move some to other areas.
Thank you for showing starship enterprse ! My favorite
Yes, it is one of mine too! It just captures your eye from far away, especially when the sun hits it.
Beautiful lesson, appreciate you for taking your time on it...hope one day able to have a garden just like it....thanks a million
I hope so too! Enjoy creating your garden.
Gorgeous blooms so nice to see the varieties , thanks for the tour.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a helpful video, thanks from the UK.
You're very welcome!
Your channel & this specific video just came across my feed…….and I’m so glad it did!
New sub!!!!!
Love the chop-n-drop method as well!! I’m not a fussy gardener 😂
Awesome! Thank you! Yes, it can be too messy for some folks but when you plant everything so close to each other it is amazing how it just disappears. Or if it doesn't I let it dry a couple days the kick some soil over it to hide it, if it seems unsightly but mostly I just let it decay on its own and feed the worms.
Beautiful garden! Thank you.
Thank you, it is my joy and I love sharing!
Starship Enterprise is my favorite but I haven't any yet still looking for it
Starship is always stunning and is one of my favorites as well.
Beautiful
Thank you, I do love my Iris!
Nice share, thanks
Thanks for visiting
Those flowers were always so pretty but they don’t bloom for very long. Do they do better in the ground other than pots?
No, I wouldn't say so but they are lovely even if brief like daffodils and tulips. Mine bloom for about 3 weeks then other flowers start to bloom and takeover the show.
Good to know iris can be moved earlier than I thought.
They are really tough plants and take a lot of abuse but still keep on blooming. If one has not increased well I will not move it until 6 weeks after bloom just to make sure I don't lose it but most of mine get so thick after a couple years I rarely have one like that.

I am so glad you found this helpful.
my irises have tiny red bugs all over on the leaves. what are they and how do i get rid of them?
First, is there noticeable damage to the leaves? It is hard to say what it is without seeing it and it could be a helpful predatory mite that eats bad bugs which then you would not want to kill it.
Is there any webbing present? If so then it could be red spider mites which do post a problem but rarely are they visible. So it is hard to say. You could try spraying them off with a power nozzle. Usually spider mites become a problem in hot dry conditions.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thank you. No, theres no damage to leaves and no webbing.
i have purple and white and purple and white mixed i gotta maintain them!
They do better with maintenance, that is for sure.
Thank you for this! Very helpful Do you trim the foliage in fall or spring?
Both, I trim back the foliage in Fall when I dig the ones I need to divide and I will cut back some foliage of the others not being moved if I get to it. If not it is no big deal. Then I trim what foliage looks damaged or ugly in Spring as needed.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thank you so much for answering! I appreciate you taking the time!
Can you please tell me what those tall flowers on the left are called? I'm looking for tall flowering plants that are good in zones 7a and 5b, those are beautiful!
Those are foxgloves. They are a biennial though you can find some that will bloom the first year from seed. Here is a link to how I seed them in my garden: ua-cam.com/video/xCVTeahmy5M/v-deo.html
I LOVE YOUR PANTS!!!
Thank you, painted them myself. I have a painting website also called pamelagroppe.com where I give painting lessons.
Hello good job. Any seeds after flowering. Thank you
I don't let mine go to seed generally but if I did not dead head they would produce seed pods.
Can you tell me why they stop blooming all of a sudden. What I'm I doing wrong and what do I need to do to get them blooming again.
Like Tulips, Iris bloom for a few weeks to a month in Spring and then they are done for the season. That is their nature. Some are rebloomers but rebloomers do not bloom again until late summer/fall.
What fertilizing you use for blooming irises?
thank you for sharing!!!! this is exactly what I need to do with a crowded clump of beautiful irises my daughter-in-law gave me. additionally thank you for showing how to cut the stems.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much. I enjoyed your video. Do you have a video on growing Irises in pots? I live in California zone 9b. It’s very hot here. I just got some bare root Irises. I plan to put them in pots. After they bloom do I dig them up to replant for the following year? Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾
I am in the process of making a video on growing bearded Iris in pots. I lived in California 9b for 15 years and grew bearded iris just fine in the garden beds. They do not mind the heat at all and will thrive. In fact one of my favorite iris gardens to purchase rhizomes from is in zone 9b.
No you do not need to dig them up until they are ready to be divided and that is typically in approximately 3 years like many perennials.

Thank you so much 😊. Where do you purchase your Iris’s from? I found a few at Green Acres Nursery. I appreciate your help. Should I wait a few more weeks before I plant them? It’s so hot here. Blessings 🙏🏾
I’m looking forward to your video on potting Iris’s in pots. My pots are (18”, 20” and 24”). Can I plant two Iris per pots? What’s the name of your channel. I would love to subscribe. Thank you again 🙏🏾
