Re: Re: HYB: unanswered questions - touching seeds


I don't know about the effects iris seeds have on one another.  I only know that my seeds planted in pots germinate much better than those planted directly into the ground.  I try to place them about an inch apart though.  If planted too closely together their delicate little roots grow together and are damaged when I try to separate them for transplanting.

  planting this next batch of
  seeds!
