Leonine Iris - Open Yard

We have been opening our yard for drop-in visits each Saturday in May since 2015. It's a great time to see irises in their "natural" state. Viewing photos of blooms is an excellent way to see color and pattern options but they do not include the growth habit or foliage style that is an integral part of the plant.

We can still make appointments for visits during weekday evenings if the need or interest arises.

In preparation for your visit, please keep a few things in mind:

We are a home-based hobby business and do not have a public washroom available.
There are stairs, narrow pathways, tight quarters and other visitors to navigate.
You may see the same iris is several locations. We believe in redundancy to preserve availability as well as test growth and bloom habits under different environmental conditions (full-sun or part-sun, level bed or sloped, etc.)
Bloom times of the same hybrid can vary quite a bit between the front and back yard!
With over 2000 iris plants, and many other unique or interesting landscape plants, there is always spomething to see each Saturday!

Bearded Iris: Miniature Dwarf, Standard Dwarf, Intermediate, Miniature Tall, Border and Tall

Beardless: Japanese, Siberian, Louisiana, Spuria, Species and Pacific Coast hybrid seedlings

and, of course, our specialty

Pacific Coast Iris!!

We love our local King and Pierce County Iris Society members, however we ask that our time and privacy be respected. Please do NOT drop by for an impromptu visit during the week or on Sundays without making prior arrangements. Our neighbors may report suspicious activity if we are not available to act a tour guides! And simply leaving a message is not considered an appointment; we need to verify that we're available for the visit.
