Iris domestica (Blackberry Lily) [10 Seeds]
$4.25
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″ 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.
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.

Description
Blackberry lily (Iris domestica, formerly Belamcanda chinensis) gets its common name from the clusters of rounded, shiny black that form after the spotted orange flowers bloom in mid- to late summer. While the flowers don’t look anything like most common irises, the fans of sword-like green leaves do have the typical spiky foliage texture of irises. The species typically reaches around 3 feet, but the established plant I collected these seeds from consistently reaches around 5 feet tall. Full sun to light shade. Perennial; Zones 4 to 10.
Collected in late September to early October 2022. At least 10 seeds. Shipping to US addresses only.
Please read the germination information as well before ordering.
