 | Iris douglasiana | $6.00 | Native from Coos Bay, Oregon to Northern California. Many pale amethyst flowers 3 inches across are held on 2 foot branching stems. Evergreen foliage 18 to 20 inches is dark green on one side and silver-green on the other. Plant blooms in May; it needs part to full sun and is very tolerant of varying soil conditions. Not recommended for areas outside of the Pacific Northwest (maritime zone 7-8.) |
 | Iris graminea | $6.00 | A Spuria native to central and Southern Europe. Thin graceful fountain foliage 18 to 24 inches tall is deciduous. Small thumb size bright purple and white blooms are found hidden deep in the foliage late May. Cut some blooms and bring indoors to enjoy the wonderful scent of ripe plums. Needs full sun and summer drought. |
 | Iris innominata | $6.00 | Native to Southwest Oregon and Northwest California. Bright old gold flowers in May are heavily veined a reddish brown-purple. Foliage is 14 inches and evergreen, sun, spring rain, and good drainage. Not recommended for areas outside of the Pacific Northwest (maritime zone 7-8.) |
 | Iris japonica | $6.00 | Native to Asia. Many (20 plus) small pale blue-lavender blooms, opening a few at a time, on a multi-branched stalk 18 to 24 inches. Needs afternoon shade and a loose humus rich soil where it will become a ground cover. Evergreen foliage shows freeze damage at 28 F. Blooms early spring. |
 | Iris pallida 'Argentea' | $5.00 | (Goos and Koenemann '1906) A small tall bearded iris with sweetly fragrant blue violet flowers. Grown for its white and green variegated foliage. Iris pallida is native to northeast Italy, Slovenia, grow as you would modern bearded irises, very hardy. See bearded iris culture and care. |
 | Iris pallida 'Variegata' | $5.00 | (Krelage and sons Barr '1901) A small tall bearded iris with sweetly fragrant blue violet flowers. Grown for its gold and green variegated foliage. Iris pallida is native to northeast Italy, Slovenia, grow as you would modern breaded irises, very hardy. See bearded iris culture and care. |
 | Iris tectorum | $6.00 | 18 to 24inches tall. Native to Asia. This woodland plant is happiest in a high filtered shaded area with a loose soil rich in humus. The large 4" violet flowers are heavily freckled darker. A great addition for the hosta and fern bed. |
 | Iris unguicularis | $6.00 | Native to the Mediterranean. The 18 to 20 inch medium green leaves are evergreen. Lightly fragrant 4-inch blue-violet flowers sporadically bloom throughout the late winter months. Needs good drainage, sun and summer drought. |
 | Species Cross 'Alley Oops' | $6.00 | (Borglum '02) 36" A presumed cross between a Siberian and Iris pseudacorus. This plant has the robust ease of growing like pseudacorus but minus the seed pods, no dead-heading. The large showy May blooms are cream, heavily veined bright blue violet with light blue standards. Full sun to lightly filtered with loose rich moist soil, deciduous, very hardy. To view a picture of the folliage, click here. |
 | Species Cross 'Child of Roy' | $6.00 | (Borglum '06) 24" The early spring chartreuse foliage (that greens up later in the season) makes a great contrasting back ground for the 3" white heavily netted purple blooms.

 | Species Cross 'Holden's Child' | $6.00 | (Tiffney '88) 27" Second generation away from a wide cross involving Iris pseudacorus and an unknown gives a robust plant that is not invasive with seed. The dark red violet falls are topped with soft amethyst violet standards. Full sun with a loose rich moist soil, deciduous, very hardy. To view a picture of the folliage, click here. |
 | Species Cross 'Roy Davidson' | $6.00 | (Hager '87) 36 to 42 inches tall with many 3-inch bright gold flowers in May. Roy Davidson is much like one of its grandparents Iris pseudacorus. It can be grown in the water or a moist garden setting. But unlike I. pseudacorus, Roy Davidson is not invasive with seed. |
 | Species Cross 'Roy's Repeater' | $6.00 | (Aitken '02) 36" A chance seed from 'Roy Davidson' gives us a beautiful white flower with sharp blue veins. A robust plant that is also not invasive with seeds. Full sun to high filtered shade with loose rich moist to wet soil. Chartreuse early spring foliage turns green by bloom time.
