New Hybrid for the Iris World
'Shirabyoshi'
| Pseudatas New Hybrid for the Iris World |
|
Pseudata 'Shirabyoshi' |
Pseudatas: I. pseudacorus crossed with Japanese Iris (I. ensata)
Great advances have recently been made in hybridizing Iris pseudacorus with
Japanese iris in the pursuit of getting yellow pigment into a Japanese iris
form. Yellow has been achieved and some fantastic Eye Shadow signal patterns
emerged. These new pseudata iris are hardy to Zone 4 (maybe 3), vigorous
growers, especially when grown in or near water (growing up to 5’ tall) and
adapt to garden conditions (growing up to 3’ tall). They have 3-4 branches and
10-16 buds, clumps remain in bloom about 3 weeks once established. These new
iris are sterile hybrids and will not spread into waterways.
