Hello all. Hopefully I've attached this picture correctly. It is a deep purple Iris reticulata that is blooming in one of my alpine troughs but I did not knowingly plant it there. Mostly I have lighter blues and yellows in this trough. But four years ago I started collecting seeds and re-planting them in the fall, and have done so each year. I did put some in this same location, but I don't know if 3-4 years is long enough for a plant to reach blooming size because everything I read says 5-7 years. It is also possible that this plant has been there all along and simply did not bloom several years in a row. I don't always divide them as well as I should, so I'm not sure which scenario is more likely. Does anybody here breed Iris reticulata? If so, how long does it take them to reach blooming size? Or do any of your adult plants go several years without blooming? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
