Gerry, I've heard lots of people say that they use it around their iris with no problems, and the plants like it. So, I used it around some of mine, and none died. I didn't notice any change in them at all though, so I'm not sure if they liked it, or didn't like it. Not sure that I'll mess with it again, since I saw nothing different about the plants.
I just moved all of my daylilies out of state to my new house, and I'm not sure if the alfalfa helped, but many of them bloomed not long after being replanted. Some had been out of the ground much longer than I would have liked, and they really bounced back well. I'll have to add some to my hosta garden!
