ENGLISH PYRENEES IRIS
- Unit price
- / per
This semi-dwarf iris from the Pyrenees is rarely offered from seeds! Deep blue, six-petalled flowers, with yellow marks in the centre of the lower petals, on short stems from May to July. Also known as The English Iris, Iris latifolia, Iris xiphiodes and Iris anglica. It is a common and valued iris of the Pyrenees and Northwestern Spain.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-9
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.
