Iris colchesterensis

Dear All,

Hoping an iris grower could help me: I've received some seeds of Iris colchesterensis from Plant World Seeds. Their planting instructions seem rather general:

"Sow at anytime and cover thinly with compost or grit in gentle heat or a warm bright sot outside. Grow on seedlings in 3 inch pots. Plant out in a well prepared bed."

Does this species require a chilling period and extra moisture? I seem to recall that it is very dependent on moist conditions, much like Louisiana iris. Please give your advice -
