The Iris versicolor is the floral emblem of Quebec since 1999. It is at the approach of the national holiday, June 24th, that we can see its magnificient blue, white and yellow flowers. Perfect for a water garden and its surroundings.

Sowing method : Lightly abrade the seed coat by rubbing seeds between two sheets of sandpaper. Bring water to a boil for 5 minutes. Pour over seeds and let soak for 24 hours. Mix seeds with an equal amount of damp sand or vermiculite. Place the mixture in a sealed plastic bag. Store the bag in a refrigerator or cool storage room for at least 90 days. Sow seeds when there is no risk of ground frost. Or plant the seeds outdoors during the fall. Germination will occur the following spring or later on.
