Dealing With The Iris Borer
The iris borer is not a problem in all areas of Canada - many theories have been developed, but the exact reason is not known for sure. In Ontario, it can be a problem if there are a lot of irises growing in your garden.
The Ontario Iris Society has developed an information sheet which outlines ways that iris lovers can deal with the iris borer.
Share your interest with fellow AIS members
