Is this safe to plant??

hi everyone sorry me again

I purchased this iris.... In the sale at the local garden center and it doesn't look quiet right to me....... If I put it into the ground will I be introducing yet another weed?? Thank you for your help

 

Hi Apple Blossom,

The Iris in their looks fine, there is a good string rhizome with at least three shoots in there.
You need to take it out of the pot and take all the weeds off it ( it looks like a Liverwort of some sort ) , they should come out easy enough.

When you plant it make sure the rhizome is showing on the surface. The best way to do this is to make a small mound, lay the rhizome on the top and drape the roots down the sides. Then, backfill to the level of the top of the mound/rhizome so the roots are buried but everything else is on top of the soil.

 

Thank you Anthony, I'm not completely sure what you mean so I've taken a look on the internetthingy and is this what you mean?



Thank you also for identifying that indeed it did have a weed growing in there with it

 

That's it Apple Blossom
