Dear gardening friends,
I can hardly believe another growing season is here! After more than 20 years of tending these irises, the excitement of watching the first buds appear never gets old.
This year we have some beautiful new varieties I'm so proud to share with you — along with all the tried-and-true favorites our garden family has come to love. Every rhizome is hand-selected, carefully packed, and shipped with a little bit of our hearts.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you've been with us from the beginning or this is your first order, you're part of our garden family now.
Happy planting!
