BLYKI

BLYKI is a dwarf Siberian iris created by authors Z.V. Dolganova and K.S. Popova. The plant reaches a height of 55 cm, and each flower has a diameter of about 10 cm. The bowl-shaped flower is oriented upwards: the upper inner petals are white, 2.5 cm long and 5.0 cm wide, while the lower outer ones are cream-colored with yellow veins, more densely colored towards the center, 4.5 cm long and 6.0 cm wide. On each straight and sturdy scape (on average, 20 pieces in a three-year-old bush), there are two flowers, which makes the planting visually dense.

BLYKI are valued for their early and bright flowering: from June 25 to July 8 they delight gardeners with their splendor. The plants grow on short stems, forming compact bushes that easily fit into small garden areas or pot containers. For optimal growth, sunlight and well-drained soil are required; excessive moisture should be avoided, as irises do not tolerate waterlogging.

Care for BLYKI is simple: bulbs should be dug up in summer for treatment and storage to prevent diseases. During the growing season, potassium fertilizers are recommended for feeding, which promotes strong scape structure and bright flowering. Thanks to their hardiness and unpretentiousness, this variety is popular among gardeners who appreciate early and prolonged enjoyment of flowers.
