‘Zua’ is a lovely Intermediate Bearded Iris characterized by its pure white blooms. The standards and falls are a crisp, clean white, creating an elegant and understated beauty. The falls may exhibit a delicate hint of veining or subtle markings, adding a touch of detail without detracting from the overall white coloration. The beard, also white or lightly tinted, further enhances the pristine look. As an Intermediate Bearded Iris, ‘Zua’ blooms in mid-spring on stems that reach a moderate height, making it a versatile addition to various garden settings. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun, like other irises. If you’re looking for a white iris that brings a touch of classic elegance and purity to your garden, ‘Zua’ is an excellent choice. Its clean white blooms offer a refreshing and sophisticated look.
