Default OT Iris from seed? OT

I let the yellow Iris here form seed pods , and today I harvested a
few seeds . Anybody ever propagate these from seed rather than bulb
division ?


Louisianna irises will grow easily from seed. Keep the pods in a cool dry
place until your spring then plant out the seeds either direct or in seed
trays. You will need to keep them damp. While the LI will grow in water it
doesn't need to be in water, it can be kept quite well in the garden or a
pot as long as you don't let it dry out too much especially in hot weather.
It will need at least part sun to flower well.
