I used some in March, but that was probably too late :o(. Now the iris leaves, even fans,. are rotting off. Terrible!

An article says I should watch for signs of brown stripes on the leaves They are created by borers tunneling down before getting to the roots. But I have never really noticed any brown stripes. I normally see the "water soaked" looks. Too late.

The problem seems to be more severe this year than previous years. I probably will have to dig them all up in September, clean them, and replant them. What a daunting task!
