Can I Winter Sow Spuria Iris Seeds?

Beaver Falls, PA(Zone 6a)

I just received some Spuria Iris seeds and since I had great success winter sowing Japanese Iris seeds last year, I was wondering if I could winter sow my new spuria seeds. Thanks for your help,

Yes
I put them out with my bearded seeds 3 days ago

PS Bury the pot in the ground makes temperature more stable and remember snow is just white mulch

Thanks for the tips Anita. Did you put the seeds on the top as I did for my Japenese Irises? They were very slow in germinating and germinated over a long period of time into summer. Should I expect slow germination on the Spurias too? Thanks again,

You need to cover the seeds with as much soil as seed size on average I put about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of soil on top of the seeds
