Detailed Information

Tall Bearded Irises, including the cultivar ‘Radiant Garnet’, are hybrids developed primarily through breeding programs in Europe and North America.

* **They do not have a single native geographical location or region.**

They are derived from various Iris species, many of which originate in:

* **Europe:** Particularly the Mediterranean region
* **The Middle East**
* **Central Asia**

Cultivars like ‘Radiant Garnet’ are bred for specific traits like color, size, and disease resistance, and their genetic makeup is a mix of these various ancestral species.

Therefore, while the *ancestral species* might be from the regions listed above, ‘Radiant Garnet’ itself is a *cultivated hybrid* without a specific native location. It is best thought of as being “from” the gardens and nurseries where it was developed.
