Iridaceae seed

thank you for your reply. after i sent my query, i realized i was thinking of Albuca cf. spiralis, which is not an Irid., but i gather your advice still applies. these seed are a bit old and i did not have any luck in the past with germination. i just found them in the fridge again and there are quite a few. i have planted them again but not too hopeful.

thanks again.

 I believe that irids vary a lot. Some iris have been documented to stay viable for many years and some of the other irids are said to need immediate planting. I've had a few germinate after several years. If you have seed it can't hurt to try them.

do Irid seed stay viable after years of storage in the fridge? or do they lose viability quickly?
