Iris won’t bloom, goatsbeard transplanting #870704

Asked May 30, 2024, 8:54 AM EDT

Rhizomes not over crowded and near surface of soil. Healthy greens. Question of not getting enough sun? Nearby plants blooming. Also wondering when can transplant goats beard. Let flower/ cut back, then transplant?

Stearns County Minnesota

Expert Response

Do the leaves of your iris have small spots? It may be Iris Borer infestation. See this web page.

Otherwise, it may be the weather or the season. Only one of my many iris is blooming now and I see only a few buds developing.
