<I can't imagine that a bit colder would hurt the seeds. How cold do
they get
in a cold US winter?>
Coldest it's been here, in the sunny southeastern US, was 25oF below
zero, no snow cover. I wasn't stratifying seeds that winter <g>, but I
suspect your fridge won't get too cold. EXCEPT that most of the irises
you might be using as parents might not be quite as cold tolerant as
those grown in colder climates. I have no idea how that might affect
seeds.
