Wild Blue Iris typically only grows approximately one foot tall including the foliage and flower stalk however, it is not uncommon to see them in meadows up to two feet tall. Wild Blue Iris is also known as Rocky Mountain Iris, Wild Blue Flag Iris, and Western Blue Flag Iris.
Sow Iris seeds in moist peat moss in starter flats in the late winter. Snip off the pointed end of the flower seed with nail clippers to hasten germination. Cover the Wild Blue Iris seed 1/8 - 1/4 inch with peat moss, and keep flower seeds continuously moist. Transplant outdoors and keep protected for the first growing season.

yes id did buy and receive bamboo seeds from you. i planted same and now cautiously await some indication the sprouting will begin. we are in northern nj where it is quite cold so i am keeping the plantings in a planter system we use for seedlings. only time luck and patience will tell the ultimate story. if the seeds come to be small plants we will replant into pots until spring and after that we are guardedly optimistic. thanks for the request and service. stewart a farber
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.
