Iris bucharica, also known as Bukhara iris, corn leaf iris, and horned iris, is a bulbous herbaceous perennial plant in the Iridaceae family. It is native to temperate Asia, specifically Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. This plant has long blue-green leaves and produces many yellow and white flowers in the spring. It grows up to 40 cm high and has a yellowish white bulb. The flowers have white or creamy white standards with yellow falls and can reach up to 2.5 inches in diameter. Iris bucharica is commonly cultivated in temperate regions and has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It prefers free-draining fertile soils and is hardy in most areas of the UK. This plant can also be grown in a pot in a greenhouse. It is deer resistant and can be propagated through division or seeds. There are also cultivars of Iris bucharica, such as 'Sunny Side Up' and 'Princess'.

Germination/Propagation Top
Suggest a correction or add new data!| Begin at 20°C for 6 weeks, cool to 4°C for 6 weeks, then gradually increase to 10°C over 6 weeks. If no germination, the cycle is repeated. |
| Requires Soaking: These seeds need to be soaked in warm water until they swell, which can take 24-48 hours. Seeds that float are usually not viable and should be discarded, along with the soaking water. |
| sow fresh or soak old seed; prechill 4 weeks or place outdoors over winter and bring indoors once germinated to avoid temperature shock; transplant at 4 leaves |
