Fall Replantinng Iris
The next sign that you should consider transplanting your iris is if the roots, or rhizomes start heaving out of the ground. Overcrowded iris rhizomes will start to push on each other, which results in the entire root system of your iris plants literally pushing themselves out of the ground. They may even stop putting up foliage and the plants may only grow foliage on the outside edges of the clump.
Best Time to Make the Move
The best time to transplant iris is in the summer, after the iris have finished blooming, up until fall. To divide your iris, start by lifting the clump of iris plants out of the ground with a spade or fork. If possible, lift the whole mass out whole, but if you are unable to do this, carefully break the clump into smaller parts and lift these out.
Next, brush of as much dirt as possible from the iris rhizomes. This will make it easier to see when you are breaking the clumps apart.
Making A Dive to Replant Peonies
I’m just on schedule Hubby always cut back my peonies!!!
September is time to replant
Choose a bright, full-sun location for your transplanted peonies, which will give you the biggest and best blooms and strongest stems. "Full sun is also a must for peonies to develop strong stems to hold the big flowers upright," Kubes says. "Even a little shade will increase the likelihood that your peony stems will flop when they bloom."
Peonies prefer well-drained soil, and are drought-tolerant once established. They also require exposure to cold temperatures to spur the growth of their shoots in spring. "Poor soil is generally not a problem for peonies—they adapt well," says Kubes.
While the exact transplant date can vary by region, weather is a good indicator of when to transplant peonies. "Cooler temperatures help keep the plants from being even more traumatized by extended hot weather," says Adelman. "Keeping an eye on weather patterns for the initial cool-off is the best guide on when to transplant." You can also monitor the color of the plant's leaves—transplanting is typically safe when the foliage fades from green to brown.
