Border Bearded Iris
These are essentially small versions of the Tall Bearded.
Both have stem heights ranging from 16 to 28 inches and
bloom at the same time as the Tall Bearded. Table Iris
(i.e.: Miniature Tall Bearded) have daintier flowers and
thin wiry stems.
Dwarf Iris
Ranging in Height from 9 to 15 inches tall, these
Iris have flowers 2 to 4 inches wide. Blooming just
after the Miniature Dwarf Bearded Iris in early spring,
they are ideal for edgings and the fronts of borders.
Intermediate Iris
Blooming after the dwarfs, these Iris
are taller and larger than the earlier relatives.
A wide range of color in really charming flowers to
cheer your early garden scene with Iris at tulip time.
Siberian Iris
These Iris, contrary to their name, are not necessarily
native to Siberia. They are certainly very cold hardy,
vigorous and relatively maintenance-free. Flowers are
4 to 5 inches wide on stems ranging from 2 to 4 feet
tall. Their graceful grass-like foliage and sturdy
stems are naturally attractive in a border even when
not in bloom.
Species Iris
Iris are known for their great diversity of literally
hundreds of different species. Here we offer a small
selection from the beardless Species group. They are
an ever-growing source of pleasure that can enhance
your garden with their delicate beauty.
Tall Bearded Iris
These are the gorgeous queens of the Iris world, with
magnificent 6 inch blooms displayed on stems over
29 inches high. The later-blooming flowers are available
in every color of the spectrum and include an incredible
variety of color patterns and combinations.
Water Iris
Hailing from Louisiana and the southern USA these Iris
are naturally a water or bog plant. They present a
spectacular range of color, including the truest red
hue found in Iris. Flowers can range from 4 to 6 inches
with stalks up to 4 feet high. These cold-hardy,
disease-resistant Iris are at home almost everywhere
in the garden, as well as on the edges of ponds.
Louisiana Iris are shipped in September and
early October only.
