Results showed that both two hormones’ application could raise the germination rate of division propagation, 6-BA about 1000 mg/L, GA3 about 1500 mg/L made the highest germination rate; both two plant hormones’ application made the blossom of Iris germanica earlier, Iris with GA3 application of 3000 mg/L bloomed 16 days earlier than control.
