Iris colchesterensis

Usually plants in this group of Iris require a month
of moist chilling to stratfy them for germination.

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 -
