NOMMO

Genetic Selection and Species Characteristics

The «Nommo» iris is a product of FANCA’s selection work, drawing upon the French school of genetics (originator: Av Du Capitaine N Tchorere 80270 Airaines France). Within the context of ornamental landscaping, this cultivar is classified as a highly adaptive perennial, with plant architecture designed for stable blooming in temperate climates. The technical value of «Nommo» lies in its root system density and balanced metabolism, which allows the plant to maintain turgor even during sharp temperature fluctuations.

Agrotechnical Indicators

• Type: ornamental iris cultivar.
• Application: landscape design, creation of mixed borders, park area landscaping.
• Country of selection: Russia (FANCA production base).
• Originator: France (base genetics).

A key feature of this cultivar is its optimized peduncle structure. FANCA breeders focused on stem strength when developing «Nommo», minimizing the risk of lodging during high wind loads. This is critical for the aesthetic integrity of a site: the iris retains its vertical posture without the need for additional support structures. The rhizome exhibits increased resistance to typical soil-borne pathogens due to the specific chemical composition of its tissues, which reduces the need for intensive fungicide application.

The practical application of «Nommo» demonstrates high plasticity across various soil types, from loams to drained chernozems. The cultivar effectively utilizes nitrogen compounds, which accelerates the spring vegetation cycle and ensures the intensive accumulation of plastic substances in preparation for overwintering.
