Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to help break dormancy and improve germination rates.
Alternatively, stratify seeds by placing them in a plastic bag with moistened peat moss or vermiculite and refrigerating for 4-6 weeks before sowing.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, or directly outdoors in fall.
Use a well-draining seed-starting mix if sowing indoors.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 6-8 weeks under optimal conditions.
Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) during the germination period.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date in spring or in fall, spacing them 12-18 inches apart.
Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and plant the seedling at the same depth as it was in its container.
Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the roots.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogging, as iris roots are susceptible to rot.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Division: Divide iris clumps every 3-4 years to prevent overcrowding and promote vigorous growth and flowering.
