moving plants now?

I need to move some cannas and iris now. Will it hurt them?

Hi Dedee,

Bearded Iris can be moved in July and August so they should be fine.

Your cannas might be a little grumpy after a move at this time of the year, but keep well watered and have the site prepared in advance so they are out of the ground for the shortest time possible. Also take as large a rootball with earth around the tubers as possible.
