Best Answer

Irises have two forms of reproduction:

  1. Asexual reproduction is an efficient multiplication of the root or rhizomes.
  2. Sexual reproduction is the form used to ensure variability and adaptation in the species.
For an iris seed, it may take 18 months for them to germinate. They need a moist and cold treatment. Once they do germinate, you might have flowers by their 2nd season.

Irises are one of the easiest flowers to grow. Plant them and other than watering if it is very dry, you need do nothing to them until it is time to divide the plants in about three years.
