Another patch of Beard Iris; I dug out small patches but that is hard work and I don't have the strength to tackle this one. Does anyone know other ways of treatment? how do the Iris spread? a lot of dumping happens in the nature reserve abutting Rivett Street backyards; so maybe by dumping garden waste?

cc abread111 would you have an idea how it spreads? Beard Iris has been planted in the Fair Rose garden; those in my garden produce seeds but I cut the seed stems off and so I don't know whether they spread by seed - they certainly spread by multiplying rhizomes & dumping
