Fairy Iris are rhizomatous subtropical perennials from South Africa, Australia and Lord Howe islands with iris-like leaves and most ornamental iris-like flowers. All species are easily grown in any rich, well drained soil in full sun to partial throughout the year at a minimum of some 10°C with watering reduced to a minimum in winter months.
Sow seeds in any rich, well drained substrate. Keep pots in a sunny spot at some 20°C throughout the year and soil always slighly moist from beneath. A temperature drop at night down to some 10°C to 15°C will siginificantly enhance germination in several species.
20 seeds per package, unless stated differently.
