Re: Re: forcing Siberians

Hi Judy, I have never tried to force siberians, but what I have to offer is that plants dug and potted in early spring do bloom for the most part at the usual time.

I have heard from Dick Kiyomoto that he forced siberians by putting them in a warm room with lots of light and enriched the atmosphere with CO2 to prevent stretching.   Marty

>Hi All:

Does anyone have any experience in forcing potted siberians? I think
it would be neat if we could have pots of Siberians blooming for some
of the early spring gardening shows ( a bit late for this year I
realise). Also several iris clubs have early shows and it would be
good to have Sibs ready to display for those.

Please respond - I know there are a bunch of fertile minds out
there!!! And since it's difficult to come up with an original idea -
some of you must have already done this.
