Albicans

Albicans (Johan Martin Christian Lange, 1860) is a legendary tall-bearded iris, celebrated for its pure white, luminous blooms accented by subtle olive-green veining at the haft. The beard is white tipped with yellow, intensifying to a rich yellow in the throat, creating a painterly, high-contrast effect. Evergreen foliage provides year-round structure. Albicans is easily distinguished from other white-flowered bearded irises by its unique, short, almost spur-like secondary branches—a remarkable trait among its peers. Its origin remains a botanical mystery, adding to its allure, but its presence across Mediterranean landscapes and historic sites is iconic. This cultivar is a collector-grade, garden-showpiece iris with a commanding, refined presence—perfect for those seeking a heritage-quality, conversation-starting addition to their beds. No known rebloom or fragrance. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Historic, Veining
