I don't dig them up in winter. I did dig up the white bed because I wanted to move them. Thats the bed that has a couple different colors in it. People would drive by and want to trade some of my white for a color they had and of course I did. I just planted what they brought me in the white bed. Thats why there are other colors that could be in the shipment other than white if gotten from that bed. When they bloom I'll know where they are and move them to start a bed of that color.@emvickrey your iris are beautiful! Do you have to dig them up over the winter?
