Re: Iris tectorum

 

Thanks Anner.  I'll check if I have enough soil to do that today.

In my experience, seeds of Iris tectorum need no vernalization, so you can pull those out of the chiller and sow them on the surface of some potting soil right now. Cover the pot with a little clear plastic and put them near a bright window, but not in direct sun. Do not cover the seeds with soil. They need light to germinate, not cold.
 
Cordially, &c &c

I have some tectorum seeds from SIGNA in burritto's in my plant fridge.  We'll see what comes of it.  Not that I really want a bunch of potted iris that I have to keep bringing inside for winter, but I do believe plants from seeds have a better shot at adjusting.

I am thinking either: too short growing season or my neglect of them...... :-(

>Mark, As for Iris tectorum - I don't know the answer to the ones I planted in Lancaster, NH. I lost the two I planted here in Berlin. They >bloomed for two years and then nothing. Very discouraging. We hope to move out of these mountains next year.
 
Ellen,
     I guess Berlin was too cold for them?  Or maybe not enough heat in summer?
