How To Divide A Bearded Iris?

Question

I planted four bearded iris last year. I got one bearded iris. It was beautiful though so really didn’t care. This year I still have bearded iris getting ready to bloom. It has been very exciting. The four plants have just exploded and they need to be divided. Thank you for your assistance.

Answer 1

I suggest waiting another year. Dividing could set them back and you may not see blooms next year. When you do divide, wait till they are dormant in late summer.

Here is how:
