Iris domestica (Blackberry Lily) [10 Seeds]

Germination Information: I recommend these seeds for experienced seed-starters only, because they may require some patience. One approach is to sow the seeds (1/4 inch deep) in a pot in late fall to late winter, setting them outdoors in a spot protected from mice, so they can germinate when conditions are right in spring. (The winter-sowing method works well with this species.)

If you sow after February, consider giving the pot an artificial chilling period of about 6 weeks before moving it to a warm, bright place for germination.

It is possible that these seeds could germinate (though perhaps at a less than optimal rate) if you start them in warm, moist, bright conditions. But if you try that and no seedlings appear within a month or so, then try the artificial chilling period.

Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.

Please read the description as well before ordering.
