Wildflowers - Iris Seeds
Yes, you can grow Iris from seeds! They take extra special handling and some patience, but it can be done. They take a few years to get up to blooming size, but the resulting blooms are much larger than most native plants. We grew a field of Northern Blue Flag Iris for seed production, and every spring they put on quite a show. They are very long lived if they have enough moisture. Irises can be grown on average garden soil, but prefer a lot of water, making them perfect for planting in and around ponds along stream banks, where they can keep their feet wet. The Iris seeds are best planted out in the fall.

The Northern Blue Flag (Iris versicolor) is the most well-known of the native irises. Native Americans and early settlers found a practical use for the Iris versicolor plant, using the strong fibers from the leaves to make ropes, nets, and string. The word "iris" comes from Greek, meaning "rainbow." The mythical Iris of Greek legend personified the rainbow, acting as the messenger from heaven to earth. This flower also appears in ancient Egyptian sculpture and tradition, as a symbol of life and power.Starting at $2.50 USD -
