Iris chrysographes 'Black Gold'

Sowing method: Year-round in a seed tray, first provide warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22°C), then a cold period, for example in the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then gradually warm up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. The seeds germinate irregularly over an extended germination period. Therefore, do not discard the sowing too soon. Sowing directly into the ground is also an option; then simply let winter pass over them, and germination will occur in spring.
