I have a tiny farmhouse in rural PA w/ lots of fields & forest... I enjoy being surrounded by as many plants as possible, both outdoors & in my home!

Iris x germanica 'Night Owl'

I have a bunch of these in am old garden I'm getting ready to redo. I'm new to gardening. Can these be transplanted? When is the best time?

They can actually be transplanted pretty easily since they grow from bulbs. They should be flowering soon (mid-late spring) so I'd recommend waiting until afterward to move them, otherwise they may not bloom this year. Aside from that, any time between now and fall should be fine for transplanting. I usually cut the plants down to near ground level first; they'll grow back next year and it's much easier to dig up and move the bulbs to a new location without the full plant attached 🙂 @sebrown
