These are beautiful flowers that will multiply over the years and be a mainstay of your perennial garden. They are simply breath-taking when planted en-masse!
Planting Siberian Iris seeds is much more satisfying, rewarding, and economical than buying plants. You can expect some blooms in the second year and full blooming thereafter. And they are 100% deer-resistant.

I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
