Q I need to divide and move irises in my garden. I have always heard that August was the correct month to move them. Is this also true for the Charlotte area? Any special tips? Thanks!, D.

A: You can do this work now. Just be sure to reset the rhizomes of bearded irises horizontally so that the top of the rhizome gets some sun. That encourages better growth and bloom.
