Rhizomes
Rhizomes can be propagated by simply dividing them into sections and planting them up. Each division should have at least one active bud.
This is a very easy method of plant propagation and is yet another method in your ever increasing arsenal of easy ways to propagate your garden plants.
More plants free for life! And more beautiful flowers to adorn your lovely garden ( backyard )!
They usually grow on the surface of the soil or in some cases just below the soil surface. So when planting, the new divisions should be planted at, or about, the same depth as the original. The leaves should be cut back hard, and the roots should be trimmed back as well, to about 75mm (3 inches).
A rhizome has two rows of roots growing from each side at the bottom, so, when planting make sure the roots on both sides are buried.
Bearded iris are ideal for easy and multiple propagation.
Crown Rhizomes are not so easy to propagate. These include asparagus and peony.
You should divide these in late winter before any new seasons growth begins to start.
