I read your information about dividing and transplanting Iris

Question

I have plenty that have stopped blooming and are forcing each other up out of the ground. So I will be dividing many and have received quite a few from a friend to plant in a new extended garden and have faith in what I learned from your advice. My further question is about bone meal. I added bone meal to Tulips and Daffodils and other spring flowers (bulbs) that I planted last spring and wondered if I should, or if it would be helpful to the Iris, to add some to the soil when I plant these plants in the new garden? Thank you!! Bill

Answer 1

Yes, you can. It will not hurt to go ahead and add some bone meal to the soil while planting (or replanting) and this will help encourage flowering.
