I did this with my PCN's, as I was afraid to plant them into the local 
soil. I actually started them in little 'Jiffy Pellets' then planted 
them on into pots, and will leave them there. A few that I did put in 
the soil are doing very well, but most of the seeds planted direct did 
not come up.
I thought about doing this with TB's but would probably only do it with 
a particularly special cross that I wanted to be extra protective of. It 
depends a lot on how many seeds you are planning on raising. If your 
short on room it might be a good solution, you could fill the patio, 
driveway, lawn, roof, etc. with seedling irises in pots!
