Instead of leaving clumps of irises intact, divide them so that your flowers can grow in a more healthy manner. Try increasing your stock by dividing your overgrown clumps of plants. If you find any dead irises in your garden, immediately pull up the bulbs. The bulbs should automatically divide in your palm, and once you put them back into the earth, they will typically flower the following year. You should split up rhizomes by utilizing a blade. Cut new pieces from the outside and discard the old center. Every piece should contain a strong offshoot. You also need to make sure that you replant the new pieces as soon as possible.
Now that you know what it takes to achieve all of your gardening goals, you are ready to go outside make them happen. Go grow your ten-foot tall sunflowers, plant those tomatoes that you’ve wanted to grow forever or create a front lawn that makes every neighbor on the block jealous. Enjoy your new green thumb.
