Two years ago I transplanted many different colors of Iris's to a different area of my yard. They are mostly all white now. What would cause that to happen? Could it be a change of soil?
Do Iris's change color after transplanting?
Normally Irises do not change color. It could be that some of the white irises you planted simply 'took' better than the other colors. Irises multiply normally by rhizome division, not seed. When they multiply this way, the new iris is basically a 'clone' of the 'mother' iris and will be identical in color to the previous year's iris. Some iris plants are more prolific and it could be that the white ones are crowding out the other ones. A change in soil normally would not affect the color.

Reply:I've never known that to happen -- but I have known that sometimes you think you're planting (or purchasing) one color and it comes up another.
