Frequently Asked Questions

How many colors are included in the mixed pack?
The mixed pack contains up to 20 distinct iris varieties, spanning a wide spectrum from teal-pink and royal blue to bronze-purple, orange flame, and pure white.

Are these perennial irises — will they come back every year?
Yes! Most varieties in this mix are perennial irises that will return each spring with proper care. Once established, they require minimal maintenance.

Do I need to cold-stratify the seeds before planting?
Cold stratification is strongly recommended for higher germination rates. Place seeds in a moist paper towel, seal in a bag, and refrigerate for 4–6 weeks before sowing.

Can I grow iris seeds in containers or pots?
Absolutely. Start seeds in deep pots or seed trays and transplant outdoors once seedlings reach 3–4 inches. Use well-draining potting mix and ensure the container gets full sun.

Can I choose a specific color, or is it only available as a mix?
Both options are available! You can select a specific color variant (such as Royal Blue, Hot Pink, or Golden Yellow) or choose the full Mixed pack for a diverse, surprise display.
