germination. For faster germination, soak the seeds in slightly hot water for
24-48 hours, followed by 3 months cold stratification before sowing, 1/4 inch
deep, in your soil. Keep damp soil, not soaking wet. Keep pot in warm situation
20°C/68°F. Germination usually takes several months. It can be more, depending

Description:
Iris sibirica hybrids, commonly named, Siberian Iris are
species from central Europe and Russia. They grow up to 4 feet tall, but most
are around 2 feet tall. Iris sibirica multiplies rapidly and is one of the
easiest of all perennials to grow. The flowers are consisting of 3 sepals and 3
petals. There are dozens of cultivars, in a varied range of splendid
blue-purple, lavender, or white flowers, including some of the most striking
and elegant of all irises. If their moisture requirements are met, they will
bloom in a wide range of conditions. They are tough, reliable plants and
generally free of pests and diseases. They bloom profusely for two or three
weeks in May. A single clump of Siberian Iris will produce 12-20 flowers once
established. Foliage is narrow and sword-like with a slightly arching habit of
growth. It stays bright green and remains attractive all Summer. They are
deciduous in Winter and need to be cut back once a year in Winter after the
foliage has turned brown. The plant spreads by means of its modified stems,
rhizomes, which are located below the soil surface. Hardiness zones 3-9,
(-37°C/-35°F, -5°C/25°F) in Winter. Siberian Iris likes full sun or very light
shade, especially in hot areas. It likes rich, acid soil with regular watering.
Requires consistently moist soil; do not let dry out between waterings. It will
tolerate less than ideal conditions and is surprisingly drought tolerant.
