Description: Here you get 30 seeds of of organically grown Blackberry lily (also sometimes called leopard lily) is actually a species of Iris (iris domestica) rather than a lily. It is a clump-forming plant that grows from spreading rhizomes, with flattened, strap-like leaves up to 10 inches long. In mid to late summer, wiry stems shoot up as much as 4 feet, with bright orange, red-spotted flowers with six petals. The flowers give way to pear-shaped seed pods which open in late summer to reveal blackberry-like seed clusters, and that’s how it gets its name. It grows in zone 5-10 and likes full sun exposure and well-drained soil. Cold stratification of the seeds significantly improves the germination. Stratified seeds usually germinate in 2 to 3 weeks. Chill the seeds in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 weeks or direct sow them outdoors in a well-marked location anytime between fall and late winter and nature takes care of the stratification. If starting them indoors, sow the seeds in mid- to late winter in a seed-starter mix, covering them with 1/4 inch of mix. Keep the pots well-watered in a bright location until the seedlings sprout. Move them to a sunny location and continue to grow them, watering when the soil gets dry. When the weather warms in the spring, move the pots outdoors and continue to grow them until they are well established. At this point, they can be transplanted into the garden.
