How Do You Weed An Iris Bed. Remove Iris Bulbs, Weed, Then Replant?

Question

I have a dense bed of iris and the roots (bulbs) are near the surface of the ground. But it also has a lot of annual weeds growing in between the plants.

Answer 1

I would definitely divide them up. This can be done anytime between summer and fall. Just weed what you can, carefully remove and divide your iris plants, then till in the soil before replanting.
