How do you save iris seads to trasplant for next season?
I do nothing with the sead pods.


Irises divide each year.


Let the tops wilt.


About august, dig the bulbs up and replant them.


Or, you can just split them with a shovel now and transplant them. They are very easy to split and grow.
Reply:In the late fall divide your plants into several with about six leaves each. Usually six to eight from an established plant.





Plant them leaving the leaves on them and next year each will grow into a full size plant.





They may not bloom the first year.
Reply:Iris' are bulbs. Leave them alone. Do not cut any of the leaves. They are feeding the bulbs for next year.





Any other questions, please consult a garden store.
Reply:my mom lets the part where the bloom was at turn brown...then she cuts the seed pod off and removes the seeds inside...then puts the seeds in small flower pots which she buries in the ground with the top of the pot about 1" out of the ground...after the seeds sprouts and the new plant gets about 1-2" you can transplant it to any spot you want..





personally i dont worry if the new iris is not the same color as the parent plant..it can be interesting to see what kind of iris grows from seeds





you can also cross pollinate iris to come up with interesting color combos





my mom just showed me how to pollinate the iris and now their blooming season is over..lol..reckon i will try it next yr





also in late summer you can cut the leaves back on iris...just leave it 6-8 inches tall....on miniature iris leave less...i ususally trim mine about an inch above where each individual leaf starts





hope this helps more than some of the other answers you received
Reply:I never do they always come back at the end of the season it is this process fo adding water and some bleach it so complicated don't worry about it they always come back
Reply:I wouldn't even save the seeds, most current varieties are hybrids and will not come back as the same variety you collected the seed from.
Reply:Don't save seeds for iris...in the Fall you can dig them up and divide them and replant them and double your plants that way. I always cut the dead flowers off as soon as they fade and then leave the foliage to keep the plants strong.
