Has anyone tried planting old (5-6 yrs) iris seed and had them germinate? Vicki,
I've had seeds germinate after 3 years sitting in an
envelope. When I planted 8 year old seeds that I had forgotten I
had ............. non germinated. (they were in an envelope too)
However............. I read once that iris seeds will germinate up to 18
years in the wild. So my guess is that the seeds need to be out
in the fields to germinate for up to 18 years and not stored away
in envelopes or the like. I have a feeling you'll at least get
some to germinate. Good luck! :-)
