Kansas gardeners can successfully overwinter several water iris varieties right in the pond. Louisiana iris, Virginia iris, Iris pseudacorus, Siberian iris, and Japanese iris all tolerate Kansas winters when their rhizomes remain submerged. The key is to never leave rhizomes exposed to freezing air.
One gardener lost a prized 'Black Gamecock' Louisiana iris after digging it up for division and forgetting it over winter. The lesson: if you divide in fall, replant immediately so rhizomes stay protected in the mud.
