Siberian iris
Comments (2)I winter sowed Siberian iris seeds I harvested from my own plants and got good germination. They grew to about 12" tall the first year and grew to their full height in year two. I had a single flower on the plants grown from seed their second year but expect to see several blooms this year. According to the Clothier database, they do need cold stratification in order to germinate which makes them excellent winter sowing candidates. Check out the Winter Sowing forum here on GardenWeb for any questions on how to go about it. It's very simple and inexpensive....See Moregrowing Iris from seed
Comments (5)Thanks for your reply morz8. I don't know what kind of Iris it is. They are small, light purple colored flowers that are grown in planting beds by my job. I admired them when they bloomed and when their seed pods dried, I picked them. I can hear the seeds rattling inside. I was successful last year winter sowing black eyed susans - my first attempt - so wondered if I could do these the same way. There is so much differing info on the internet....See MoreWho Else Is starting their daylily seeds?
Comments (51)LOL I live in zone 8 and I still start them babies in the house. I may try my hand at doing a few seeds as Jan did this past year. That's how I do my pro.'s, just snap them babies off and plant them next to their mama's. I figure this will make the clumps bigger a lot faster. Jan, my daffs are up and blooming too. I have several beds that are full of paperwhites and the smell will knock you out it's so strong. Ed, I'm so glad you have some more of your seedlings coming up. If you need more space I'll grow some seedlings for you here....if you supply the seeds are small plants. I'll keep photos and records and anything else you would need are want. But I would want one start of each seedling for my own use in my flowerbeds. LOL Well I've got too many irons in the fire right now, I've got to go plant a few more crosses I just got off the L.A. I wish someone would breaker the curser on my computer so I couldn't get on there. Each day I say "I'm not going to buy any more seeds" Each day, I lie to myself and go ahead and click on SOMETHING ON THERE.....lol Berrytea4 me, I sure would like to have a couple of Blue Spruce seedlings to try to grow here. Even if it is too hot, I'd like to try. Do they come up wild there like our pine trees do here in the Piney Woods of East Texas? WE need some new pictures of everyone's seedlings. I don't know how to put them on here or I would. Please don't anyone offer to teach me how. I've tried before and I'm HOPELESS. Happy Gardening and lots of beautiful daylily babies this summer....See MoreSeed?
