Great minds think alike, I just did a video on both dividing Iris and Planting Iris. You can also trim the roots to plant more easily when they are very long. I learned that at a local Iris grower. Iris are a huge part of my gardens, I love them and keep adding more though I am running out of room. I am sharing a bunch I have divided with my cousin, who is just starting her garden. Iris are so easy they make a great beginner gardener plant. I have that light lavender iris you show, it is a vintage one that has such a sweet scent. I gave away many bouquets this Spring but I have yet to master such beautiful arrangements. Yours is just gorgeous.

You said to plant irises so that the top of the rhizome is barely visible. Later in the video I think you're making an exception to that in hot climates, when you say to cover the rhizome with one inch of soil. Correct? I live in south Texas, where we usually have hot summers and mild winters. Also, so the planting time be more lax down here, rather than July through September. with less chance of frost? Thank you for the video. Have always loved irises since my brother and I played as kids in my grandmother's back yard, who had lots of them.

My small clump of iris (and I'm not sure of the variety -- I think they're a wild variety, are separating with a -hole- in the middle. I think they are past due for a division. Will follow your process next growing season, after they finish flowering! Thank you! and the arrangement at the end of the video is stunning!

My husband has been cutting everything along the fence line since we purchased the house 4 years ago. He hasn't got around to it yet and yesterday I discovered 4 Peony bushies and loads of Iris plants! I'm definitely going to dig them up and move them so he doesn't hack them down again -

You have solved my problems. My iris didn't bloom because I planted them too deeply, and the big iris clump needs to divided. Thank you for the extremely specific directions. Some garden experts give only general instructions, not understanding how clueless some of us are. Thanks.

Thanks for this comprehensive and short tutorial. I tossed gifted ones into compost after I was certain I-d accidentally left too long without planting, and they-d completely dried out. Imagine my surprise when my entire spring compost bin was bursting with bearded iris plants! Wow!

I have Iris-s in my yard and they are planted in the shade, maybe filtered light, and they bloom every year. They are tall and dark purple. Do you think this is because of the variety? I planted some in full sun and they died.

Thank you for another hugely educational video Danielle - and those dahlias behind you are just to die for. I was excited yesterday to see the first shoots coming up from my dahlia tubers here in my NZ garden. Take care: )

What a stunning arrangement, Danielle! And the musical accompaniment was perfect. I-m guessing that was your mother playing. Could you tell us the name of the piece and the instrument she was playing?

Are you using these at all in bouquets? I find that they hold up poorly and drip 'dye' for want of a better word. Any tips are appreciated.
