- Unit price
- / per
Iris setosa is suitable to be grown in the front of a border, on the sunny edge of a woodland garden, or in a bog garden The iris prefer to grow in moist or wet soils, though it can adapt to various conditions, including partially dry conditions if there is part shade.
In mild temperate areas, the leaves are evergreen, (surviving the winter). But it is best to tidy up the plant and trim the leaves back before the winter, this reduces wind rockage (and root disturbance), then in spring, new leaves will emerge.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 2-9
Location: Sun to part shade
Height: 30-60cm, 12-24"
Seeds per packet: 5
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 6 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period for most seeds, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
