Irises are a favorite for many, but I have often heard and even said, "I wish they would last longer."

Here are two in my yard that have been blooming nearly continuously since the middle of May. There are other rebloomers; here is one link    http://irisfarmer.com/rebloomers.html

Irises are easy to grow and very rewarding. I welcome questions and comments

Fall is just around the corner, which means it is time to start thinking about Spring. There is a lot that can be done in the next couple months that will help you look forward to a new season.

August is the best time to separate Irises and replant for blooms in May. I have Iris starts for anyone interested; otherwise they will go into the compost pit. Send me a message if you're interested.
