I will always remember the mid-west for the HUGE clumps of irises in every yard. This one is one of the newer types with more than one bloom period per summer. The frozen groundtends to be brutal on new root systems, so if you mulch well, it keeps the...

It can't take up water until it grows new roots, and meanwhile extra humidity around it will keep it from wilting. This can be as simple as a plastic bag propped loosely over the pot, held up by a couple of chopsticks so the plastic doesn't touch the...
