If only some of the seedlings are like this, but not that many, then it could be genetic. Especially if they have always been yellow.

If it is named varieties then a different story. There are different patterns of chlorosis (leaves turning yellow). A good picture would help. Otherwise need a description. Does it start on old leaves or new leaves. Is in veins or between veins? From base out or from center of leaves out?

Also any information on what treatments he has done to soil.

Each problem has it's own symptoms.

Subject: [iris] yellow iris leaves.  what is wrong?

A friend of mine has a problem with his irises. He emailed the following
to me.


"I haven't joined Hort.net yet (maybe I should) and I have a  question
about my iris seedlings at Wes's. Some of the plants the leaves  are
almost yellow on the whole plant like I am missing something that  makes
the chlorophyll. My guess is iron, but I'm not sure. What do I  need
to add to fix the problem? I'm growing on clay soil here in the valley."

Does anyone have an idea of what is  wrong?
