A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Hi..Looking for bearded iris

Hi Everyone!

I''m looking for to try and plant another black iris and a blue and white iris this spring. The ones i plant are Before the Storm and Stairway to Heaven. They both never seem to make it over our cold winters here...
Does anyone know where i could purchase both of these or have any of their own i could purchase? I think, by experience, the smaller the rhizome, the better.

Thanks much!
Greg

-15 tonite...brrrr

Try these:

Cooley's Gardens
they have a catalog "to die for". Many, many, beautiful pictures and I have never been unhappy with what I have gotten.


www.gilberthwild.com
never been unhappy with these people, either. In fact, I just got a 2008, pre-season sale catalog, in the mail yesterday. You might try something called
"Ebony Angel"


Good luck

Gardener Guy: Hi! May I suggest you look over the Germanica species at Iris Colorado. 'Amas' is an old reliable dating back to over a century ago.
I've been disappointed with modern hybrids.

Didn't she use to work in the County Fair Sideshow?

bad thorny... good luck finding them greg.

A Tennessee iris grower at one time listed 'Amas' as the state flower:

I also vote for Gilbert Wild. If anyone is looking for daylilies they are having a sale now for 3.00. I have never been disappointed and they stand by their plants if it does not grow I emailed them and they replaced.
