The different varieties of Bartiris
The bearded iris is usually planted as a rhizome just below the earth's surface in the garden soil. The basically relatively easy to care for plants are characterized by the fact that the different varieties have quite different growth characteristics, flowering times and location requirements.
The three groups of different high Bartiris varieties
Bartiris, which originated from the crossing of Iris variegata and Iris palida, has become increasingly popular all over the world, so that breeding trials have produced well over 200 different varieties. In order to bring the very heterogeneous sourced varieties better in a certain order, they are usually summarized based on their stature height in three major groups:
While the Barbata Nana Group is the lowest variety of the Bartiris, the Barbata Media Group includes the medium sized varieties. In the Barbata Eliator group, in turn, there are the varieties of Bartiris, which reach particularly large stature heights.
Especially popular varieties of Bartiris
Within the "small" varieties of Bartiris, the varieties 'Melon Honey', 'Little Bucaneer' and 'Fairy Ballet' are particularly popular. Among the mid-high varieties, the varieties 'Swizzle', 'Arctic Fancy' and 'Con Brio' are particularly popular. The most favored varieties of the Barbata Eliator Group are Champagne Waltz, Provencal, and Old Black Magic.
A particularly magnificent species of Bartiris
The iris barbata-media, Helen Proctor 'is a medium-high species of Bartiris, which is characterized by its special flower color. The flowers are almost deep black colored at the lower approach, while they go to the upper end in a magical purple. This variety flowers early and with relatively small flowers, which last for a very long time.
Tips
The special attraction of the Bartiris is to combine different varieties with different heights and different flower colors. Since the different varieties also bloom at quite different times between spring and mid-summer, a long flowering time can be achieved in a perennial flowerbed full of bearded irises.
