Flower power
The ,colorful beauty of ' the
tall, bearded :irises in Ontario
gardens is shitrtrlived but very
."w9lcome at a time when
relatively few other plants are
i 1 bloom.' The dsplays have
finished for this year, and the
' roots are preparing for next
season's show.
"This makes July an ideal
•time to renovate your old iris
beds, or to add prized new
varieties,{,! says D.B. McNeill,
prticulturist with the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and` %
Food. "If planting is delayed
until fall, gardeners risk losing.
the, plants when they are
heaved .out of the ground by
frost in the spring." .
To renovate irises, simply dig•
up ,the 'rhizomes — the thick
underground roots that grow
horizontally either just below
the surface ,of at ground' level
---, and divide them.' In old
clumps,` the central portion is
often weak and diseased; • Mr.
,McNeill recommends that only .
the young, vigorous sections be.
cut -off for transplanting.
Cleaning up the beds in this
way 1also helps control the iris
boil, a • pest that -bores into
stalks at the leaf base.
