Re: Iris domestica 'Gigantica'


 

I have a virginica that routinely reaches 7 feet. Reports of cunfusa and other relatives reaching 7-8 feet in favored climates such as California. Lastly there is a photo of a fulva of all irises...at 10 feet tall.

No, I haven't!   Must be the weather or perhaps you are right that it is a tetraploid!  Amazing.  Did you get any seeds?

This was found growing at a temple in the mountains of India. This year it is 91” tall (231 cm). Possibly a tetraploid?


Has anyone ever seen one nearly that tall?
