free bearded iris
Jun. 7th, 2009 02:53 pmEDIT: Iris are gone. Enjoy!
I'm making some space in my garden and dug out a bunch of bearded iris. They're in plastic bags under the Japanese maple tree next to my driveway on William Street at the corner of Chandler St (purple house, hard to miss). In case you're a new gardener and want to give these a try, they need a sunny spot, and should be planted with the rhizome (fleshy root) at or just under the soil level. They're kind of a two-tone purple with veining, see below for picture. (Just to be clear, these have already bloomed this year, but will bloom again next spring.)
