Iris4u Greenhouse Online Catalog - It's In The Flower!
Dear Iris4u Friends,
We have all watched as the coronavirus moved around the globe through Europe and on to the US disrupting business and everyday life at the start of 2020. Even now as restrictions begin to relax and there is a strong desire for "normal" life to return, we must still take cautious measures to ensure the wellbeing of our communities.
After careful consideration, we have decided to go ahead with our 2020 iris season although on a scaled back level. This year's online catalog primarily features varieties we grow in our showroom in northern Germany, near Hamburg. We will not be receiving varieties from our parent garden in Denver, Colorado as we traditionally do, which means many of the varieties you fell in love with, will have to remain on your Wish List until our 2021 season.
Like many, we are facing challenges that we have never experienced before and are doing our best to navigate them. We know these changes will be a disappointment for many. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience. We thank you for all your support and wish you a colorful summer!
Take care of one another,
Jennifer & Markus Dreyer
Did you know that the Tall Bearded Iris was named Perennial of the Year 2016 in Germany?
They may seem like garden divas, but in actuality, iris are easy to care for and thrive in almost all soil types. With plenty of sun and warmth, these uncomplicated perennials become the “kings and queens” of your garden between May and June.
Whether you call these cultivars Iris, Bearded Iris, Tall Bearded Iris, Iris germanica, Iris barbata, or Iris barbata-elatior makes no difference. The name is not what impresses, but rather the flower: solid self or multi-colored; laced or ruffled; spooned or horned beards. There is something for everyone and the combinations are endless.
Our filter function below will help you navigate our online shop to help you find your perfect iris!
When will my Iris bloom? There are 3 main categories when Tall Bearded Iris start to flower: Early, Mid-season and Late. Naturally weather plays a big role - warm spring temperatures will mean an earlier start to the season. A cooler spring then means a later start. Below is a general rule of thumb when to expect color in your garden.
Very Early: beginning of May
Early: mid to end of May
Middle: end of May to the beginning of June
Late: mid to end of June
Rebloomer: Tall Bearded Iris is a winter hardy perennial which blooms each year in spring. A “Rebloomer” blooms in spring and can potentially bloom again in autumn. That’s what makes them so unique!
