Look for propagation.

I have same iris. This year they went a little crazy so I had to dig them up and give haircuts. Never had blooms or seed pods. I think root cuttings are an easy way to go.

Good luck!

Louisiana iris are not a pure species but a hybrid of various native irises indigenous to the Gulf Coast (I. brevicaulis, I. fulva, I. giganticaerulea, I. hexagonae, and I. nelsonii). Because Black Gamecock is a louisiana hybrid, it is unlikely to come true to form from seed and that verbage is standard Dave's Garden for any hybrid plants as well as those hybrids that are sterile or don't set viable seed.

By all means go ahead and plant the seeds and see what you get - it may or may not produce any plants with that very dark coloring. To get a duplicate of your black iris, you will need to divide it.

I have a 'Black Gamecock' iris plant obtained this year with two huge seed pods on it so, yes, it does set seed. However, the entire statement on Dave's Garden is "N/A: plant does not set seed, flowers are sterile, or plants will not come true from seed" and I think it's the "plants will not come true from seed" part that pertains here because Louisiana iris are often hybrids among the five species in that group (like the Pacific irises being mainly hybrids of West Coast species).

I also have the old Louisiana iris 'Dorothea K. Williamson', which is a hybrid between I. fulva and I. foliosa, by some accounts, or I. brevicaulis and I. fulva by others. I have planted seeds from that and the seedlings' flowers tend to look like I. brevicaulis and not like DKW itself.

An iris will set seed but it will not look like the parent plant.. You can plant them and they will grow..what they will look like is anyone's guess. The only way to get more Black Gamecock plants would be to dig and divide them from the roots..

Thanks guys, could be interesting. Think I will give it a shot for fun. Not really interested in dividing mine or having more BG iris as mine are plentiful at the moment. This will be an interesting experiment though.
