Bearded Irises $10.00
More bearded irises for you to look at.
I have names for all but two of them.
At this time of the year you will get at least two maybe more rhizomes attached to a rhizome that has flowered.
Easy to grow, bearded irises like about 5 hours or more of sun a day and a position that is not soggy. They look spectacular in a clump, or singly.
Plants will be fresh dug, trimmed, and labelled ready for planting, with instructions if you'd like them.
Plant them with their rhizome ( like an elongated bulb) sitting on top of the soil and the big anchor roots firmed into the soil. Water them a little for the first few weeks, then they know what to do.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
