How To Plant Iris Seeds

Tips, Tricks

1. I appreciated the planting video. I have planted my seeds in pots as you described and put them on the north side of the house in the shade this winter.  We get down to the forties often and sometimes 30 at night. (Northern CA)  Should I water them while they are outside during this germination period?  Did you make the second video?
2. It's September -- can I plant the seeds and keep them in my garage until May?  We are going into winter, snow & 20 degrees.  Also, should I water them during the winter storage?
3. Link to seedlings video referenced at end of video?
4. Hello! I live in a tropical zone (the Caribbean) is there sometime else that I would need to do?
5. Tell me Mark, I see you put the whole pot into the fridge. Could I place the seed themselves into the fridge, as it's the home fridge I have. do you follow.
   Thank's  Danny.
6. thank you fort his video.  do you have a picture or video of what the seedlings look like?  I have some trying to germinate and I have no idea what they are supposed to look like when they come up...
7. Yes, you can plant them outside. They just need cold and rain this winter to start growing in the Spring. Make sure the soil is good. Maybe add some potting soil and watch out that the weeds don't smother the seedlings in the Spring. 
8. Hello! I "rescued" a number of irises from the roadside (on my property, but on the right of way). I put them into a raised bed with very rich mix of topsoil and compost. I think that they are the blue flag variety and had probably been in the same place for at least 60 years. They thrived and bloomed and also gave me a number of pods.Pods are beginning to open. I live in very SW Virginia. Should I plant them as you directed and leave outside and wait for them to grow in spring?
9. Hello reklawj9, no i did not make any more videos. If your seeds are in the soil, you are good. Needs to get cold and wet, then in the Spring you will see baby iris plants come up. Make sure you water them when they are little. Good Luck!
10. Hello Wallysmi. Plant the seeds in the ground about 1/2" deep and about 6" apart. remember where you planted them. In the Spring you will see little iris plants come up. They will not bloom the first year. Good luck!
11. Well, It's Sept here in PA and the Iris seed pods are beginning to split open. Can I plant them directly into the ground now and will they come up next spring? Or, should I harvest the seen now, save them for planting next spring and if so how should I save the seeds? wallysmi@aol.com 
12. Did you ever make the second video? I have 2 sets of seeds in soil and was wondering what comes next thanx j9
13. Nice video. I just got one of my Dusky Challenger to give me a seed pod (not sure the cross but I love Dusky Challeneger anyways). My question is, should I plant the seed this year or wait until next Spring. I live in Atlanta and we are heading into Summer. Thanks!
