| Out of 15 seeds, only one germinated. Looks like early March wintersowing is not enough. I'm still happy :) |
Follow-Up Postings:

| The rest might still germinate, don't worry, keep watering them. I had an absolute TON of those seeds germ. |
|
| I like to do the warm/cold/warm (or cool) for almost all iris, and Fall sow them. My siberians self sow, definitely getting the warm moist preceding the chill. I have 16 iris chrysographes seedlings poking up as of yesterday, not sure how many seeds I sowed though. The first seedling or two appeared weeks ago, germination has been really spread out. You should keep your container intact a while yet... |

| I've only sown Siberian iris once, but sowed them in June with no pretreatment and had really good germination. |

| I WS Siberian iris seed last year and had great germination. I planted the seedlings in various beds and this year a few have sent up flower buds. I traded for more seeds back in Dec-Jan and just in the past few days finally have sprouts from those WS seeds. Comparing last year's germination to this year, I'm guessing they need a bit of warmth to germinate--it's been consistently cold this spring as opposed to the abnormally high temps we had in April last year. |

| Grdenweed, it's very interesting to know that you got flower buds this year. I have some Siberian Irises that grew from transplants. They took a long time to actually get established ad bloom leading me to think they would take years to bloom from seed. I think I will save seeds this year: I have a new bed to fill. |

| I had some germinate (seeds from a swap). When I planted them out, something ate them. Bunny I think. So keep an eye on them! |

| Congratulations! I had given up on mine. I'm going to check them. I would like to see seedling pictures? |
|
| I'm up to 22 seedlings this afternoon, 6 more have germinated. Ladyrose, I don't have a picture taken of mine but they look like the tiny tip of a very pointy, sharp, stiff blade of grass, no seed leaves. |
