The ideal day to divide a plant is when it is cool and there is rain in the forecast. [4] Start by digging a circle around the plant about 4-6 inches from the base. Next, dig underneath the plant and lift it out of the hole. Use a shovel, gardening shears, or knife to physically divide the plant into multiple "divisions".
Iris is a flowering plant genus of 310 accepted species [1] with showy flowers.As well as being the scientific name, iris is also widely used as a common name for all Iris species, as well as some belonging to other closely related genera.
The English names walking iris, apostle's iris and apostle plant have been used for many species, regardless of the generic placement (e.g. for Trimezia gracilis, syn. Neomarica gracilis). New plantlets form at the end of the flower spikes; after flowering, the spikes fall over and a new plant grows, so the plant "walks".

As most irises are diploid, they have two sets of chromosomes.This fact can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings. [17] It has a chromosome count: 2n=42, [3] [23] [19] It has been counted several times. 2n=42, differing from some other Louisiana iris species, so hybrids from crossing with those other species should have an odd number of chromosomes, for example, if an ...
It has the common name of Dixie iris, [3] [4] [19] (Dixie is a common name for the southeastern United States. [20]) and it also occasionally known as 'Carolina iris'.[10] [21] [22] In Florida, it was known as the 'Prairie iris', [20] but this due to a population of Iris hexagona var. savannarum which was later classified as a synonym of Iris savannarum.

It grows in Lebanon, Syria and Turkey, although it is believed to be extinct in the wild. It is popular as a cut flower as the flowers can easily span 12 centimeters (5 inches).
Iris odaesanensis can be naturally propagated by hummingbirds. [9] [2] It can also be propagated by division or by seed growing. [15] Dividing the clump is the easiest, (separating the small sections of rhizomes), as the plant can create dense clumps within 5 years of planting. [2] [21] To grow by seed, the seed pod has to be harvested when ...
