I harvested some iris seeds before in late August 2021. I planted the seeds thinking they needed to winter over before sprouting. Ii guess with warmer than usual temps, they have begun sprouting now, Oct 29th. I live in zone 7b. Will these young sprouts die over winter or is there a way to save them? thank you......chrisGrace Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299824900144197493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696495401112275586.post-6728307140142209192021-10-10T06:39:08.711-07:002021-10-10T06:39:08.711-07:00Is it the same for iris pseudocorus??

They will usually be small and dry early. The seed will be very small as you found and are actually the female part before fertilization. They will not germinate. Irises must be fertilized by human hand although bees etc will occasionally do it for you. Out of 4000 flowers this year, only the ones I fertilized by hand produced pods with seeds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696495401112275586.post-25028310572302882102019-09-27T20:16:41.154-07:002019-09-27T20:16:41.154-07:00Each seed will be a different variation of the par...Each seed will be a different variation of the parents even though they come from the same firtilization.
