This lot of Siberian Iris seed was harvested in early March after being outside all winter. I believe that cold stratification instructions below can be ignored. As well this means the seeds can be sown in the garden in the spring.) To grow Siberian iris from seed, you can either direct sow it in your garden in the fall or start your seeds indoors. To direct sow in your garden, plant your seeds oe inch deep in late fall or early winter. Iris need a period of cold to germinate so you won?t see any seedlings until the following spring. Germination should occur at the same time as your mature iris is blooming. The seedlings will grow all summer and fall and bloom the following spring. How to Grow Siberian Iris From Seed Indoors To start your seeds indoors, you will need to cold stratify them. Soak the seeds for 3 to 5 days, then plant them oe inch deep in containers with pre-moistened soil. Place the containers inside a plastic bag and then place the bag covered container in your refrigerator for 60 days. This mimics winter weather. The plastic bag is to ensure that the soil doesn?t dry out too quickly. You will need to check the moisture level in soil periodically and add water as needed to keep the soil moist. After 60 days, you can remove the container from your refrigerator. Some of your seeds may already have sprouted. The rest will germinate within days of being removed from the refrigerator. Remove the bag and place the container on a sunny windowsill. You can plant your seedlings outdoors after your last frost. They will grow only foliage during the summer and fall of their first year. You can expect flowers the second year. =s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s==s=s=s=s=s=s=s= Seed Shipping: Flat Rate Low Shipping fee- no matter how many seeds you order!
