Standard Dwarf IRIS CATALOG SDB

Catalog of standard dwarf bearded irises SDB uploaded on 24 Feb 2019

Standard Dwarf Irises (SDB) - the earliest bearded irises blooming in the suburbs from May 20-25 at the peak of tulip flowering. Dwarf irises originated from a tetraploid (32 chromosomes) form of dwarf iris (Iris pumila) from eastern Europe and have peduncles with 1 (sometimes 2) branches up to 20 cm in height with 1-3 flowers 4-7.5 cm. Most varieties of the group winter in the suburbs without shelter. Crossing 32-chromosome MDB irises with tetraploid (48 chromosomes) TB irises results in 40-chromosome SDB irises.
