How to Plant Iris from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Outdoors: Sow seeds in fall, allowing natural cold stratification over winter.
  • Indoors: Start seeds 8-12 weeks before the last frost, using artificial stratification

Seed Preparation

  • Iris seeds have a dormant period and require cold stratification for successful germination.
  • To stratify seeds:
    Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours.
    Place seeds in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag.
    Store in the refrigerator (34-40°F) for 8-12 weeks.
    Check periodically for signs of sprouting.
  1. Choose a well-drained, sunny location.
  2. Loosen the soil and mix in organic compost.
  3. Sow seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep, spaced 12 inches apart.
  4. Cover lightly with soil and water gently.
  5. Germination occurs in 6-18 months, so patience is key.

Starting Seeds Indoors

  1. Use peat pots or seed trays with well-draining soil.
  2. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep, covering them lightly with soil.
  3. Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C).
  4. Keep soil moist but not soggy.
  5. Transplant seedlings outdoors once they develop strong roots and have at least two true leaves.

Pro Tip

After blooming, cut back the flower stalks but leave the foliage to nourish the plant for next season.

Bonus: Irises are drought-tolerant once established and attract pollinators like bees!
