Variety traits
Iris flower stalk
Iris L.
The iris flower stalk is a key economically valuable trait that determines the ornamental qualities and horticultural classification of the plant. It is evaluated by height, strength, degree of branching, and bud count.
In the reference 20 varieties crop Iris, where this is mentioned in the description.
In iris breeding, the flower stalk is measured from the base to the tip, with strength evaluated as the ability of the stem to support the weight of the flowers without lodging during inclement weather. Other important characteristics include the presence of lateral branches and the positioning of the flowers relative to the foliage level.
In horticultural classification, bearded iris cultivars are divided by flower stalk height into miniature dwarfs up to 20 cm, standard dwarfs from 21 to 40 cm, intermediates from 41 to 70 cm, and tall irises over 70 cm. These indicators determine the functional use of the cultivars in landscape design.
