Hours of Operation

Last year we opened 3 weeks to early, since mother nature didn't cooperate with us we were a bit early. So this year we are going to wait as long as we can to let you know when we will open. We would like the majority of the iris blooming so you can see what you are purchasing.
​So stay tuned.

Once you have purchased your iris, plant them as soon as possible. From talking to others two problems seem to stand out when it comes to planting iris, planting them to deep and over watering. You want the hard area of the plant (rhizome) slightly out of the ground. As far as watering if they are being watered everyday that is too much, usually I water mine every second or third day, depending on how hot it is. I f you have any questions please contact me, texting is the best.

Iris Purchase Instructions

Purchase iris
  • When you enter the front entrance of the garden look to your right  where you will see a hutch, the  order forms and clip boards are located there. If an iris does not have a name tag it is  sold out or not available.  Once your order form is completed bring it to the table located at the shop where you will pay and a digger will be assigned to you. The irises will be dug at that time so make sure you do not leave without your irises
  • Please be aware if we receive a heavy amount of rain we will not be able to dig iris so the garden will be closed.

Caring For Your Irises

  • Irises bloom best with full sun and little water
