Bearded Iris - barerooted Rhizomes

Joan from Masterton District

The flowering season has past, the irises have had a rest and now is the time for replanting.
I have pictured just a few of the irises I have ready to go.
I have a catalog of photos of other irises available.
$10.00 for each rhizome, dug, trimmed and labelled. Comes with instructions.

Bearded iris are spectacular in their flowering season with their talk flower spikes displaying up to 12 blooms per spike, and they provide good structure in the garden with their pointed grey green leaves through the rest of the year.
They are frost resistent and love sunbathing with their rhizomes sitting on top of the soil and anchor roots going down.
I have dwarf irises about 30cm high, ( $8.00 each) Median irises about 60 cms ($10.00 each) and tall irises ( $10.00 each) which grow to a metre high.
Irises like good drainage and about 5 or more hours sun a day.
Easy to grow and they multiply up into spectacular clumps.

These irises are conditioned to the Wairarapa climate and should do well.

Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.

Price: $10

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
