Iris have been an important plant in our gardens since we first gardened in 1962.
Since we have been in Newport, we have added many varieties of Iris to our collection.
Originally, we started with all bearded Iris, but we now grow many types of Iris.

Society, Region 13 (Washington) of the American Iris Society, The Society for Siberian Iris, The Median Iris
