Storing Iris Bulbs
This could be due to moving or waiting for replantation for some other reason. Storing the bulbs can be a tricky process if you're a novice, however, it can be learned pretty easily if you try. The trick is to pay careful attention so that they don't rot or dry out.

Look for discolorations on the rhizomes. Healthy rhizomes are light tan to yellowish white and have no visible dark areas.

How long can iris bulbs sit out?

Now lay the “keeper” rhizomes aside in a shaded location, a garage or cool shed is a good storage area, while the planting beds or plant- ing holes are readied. It will not damage the prepared rhizomes to remain out of the ground for two weeks.
