- Divide older Bearded Iris rhisomes. Cut out the woody parts and replant the rest.
- Plant fall crocuses now and crown imperials from now until October.
- Add several inches of mulch to Asiatic lilies. This will keep the roots cool, protect them from heat and deter weed growth.
- Watch your gladiolus carefully those with heavy blooms may require staking.
- Dig up your ranunculus and anemone to store for the winter if you haven't already done so. In warmer zones they can be left in the ground. Just apply a light mulch in fall.
- In late August you can dig up overcrowded lily-of-the-valley bulbs that grew poorly. Gently separate each plant and replant individually.
