I bought several Irises recently from Schreiner's. I'm very pleased with their
quality and packaging. But this weekend I got wondering about their shape.
They are almost spherical with good roots at the bottom. The only clump of
Irises I've ever dug up were more cylindrical like little sausage links. This
got me wondering if the ones I bought had been grown from seed instead of tubor
division. Does anyone know?
This is my first year growing Irises and I'm very excited about it. I used to
have a vineyard and we only propagated vines through cuttings because the seeds
were totally unpredictable. Are Iris seeds true to the parents if they have
been carefully segregated from other varieties or do you have to only go from
tubors?
