When I moved into this apt in 2016 thee were irises in the bed on the No side of my patio and a crappy cedar bush on the south. When they painted the complex two years ago, they yanked out the shrub but ran over the iris bed with cherry pickers and scissor lifts.
Once they were finished, I transplanted some if the damaged tubers on the south side and filled in the empty spaces with tubers from my friend’s house.
