Sagit Agish Iris – a new garden variety obtained as a result of twenty years of breeding work at the South-Ural Botanical Garden and free pollination of the "Snow Tenum" variety.
The bushes have a sturdy scape up to 70–75 cm high, short-branching. Each stem bears from three to five large white flowers with a diameter of about 12 cm. The petals are decorated with yellowish-brown veins at the base and a bright orange beard, giving the color an expressive contrast.
The upper lobes are wide, long, rounded, pleated, wavy, and entire-margined; the lower lobes – also wide, long, rounded, smooth, wavy, and entire-margined. Flowers open in June and maintain fullness for about 11 days.
The variety is distinguished by high decorative quality (94 points out of 100), good winter hardiness and heat resistance, as well as medium-level resistance to heterosporiosis. The bush grows intensively, making it suitable for urban greening: flower beds, group plantings, masses, borders, rabatkas, alpine hills, and cut flowers.
Sagit Agish Iris is a combination of aesthetic appeal, resistance to climatic conditions, and ease of care, making it a valuable choice for gardeners and landscape designers.
