"And suddenly you know it's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings."

- Meister Eckhart

Welcome to Iris4u Garden's 2013 Season!  We are a family operated iris garden in Denver, Colorado.  Iris Bob, as he is affectionately known to many, grows and sells approximately 1000 newer Tall Bearded Iris varieties in the heart of the Mile High City. 

As a rising hybridizer for Tall Bearded Iris, he has approximately 10,000 seedlings under evaluation at any given time from previous years to current seedlings still in pots waiting to germinate.   Read More

Thank you to all our iris fans who have visited us.  It is a pleasure seeing all the familiar as well as new faces in our garden each year!  We look forward to seeing you this flower season!

Our garden has opened again, however, due to the extreme weather conditions we've been experiencing this spring we are still a "Sea of Green". We anticipate a smaller scale Peak Bloom approximately the second week of June. Therefore, please call us at 303-789-4747 to check the status of flower development before you make the trip out to visit us!

For more details about our garden status and to hear what else is new, take a minute to have  A Word with Iris Bob or visit our facebook page, Iris4u Iris Garden.
