Iris Setosa

Sowing method: All year round in a seed tray. First, give warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22°C), then give a cold period, for example in the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks. Subsequently, gradually warm it up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. The seeds germinate irregularly over a longer germination period, so do not discard the sowing too soon. Sowing directly into the ground is also possible; just let it overwinter, and germination will occur in spring.
