SILVER TONGUE
One of our 2010 Introductions


2010 is our 16th year
Welcome to Iris City Gardens. We grow Louisiana, Siberian and a number of virginica, pseudacorus, versicolor, laevigata and species crosses. We also have many antique and newer bearded iris and never-rust Garden Markers to identify your plants. We sell potted iris, daylilies, peonies, water lilies and other perennial plants here at the nursery.

September 1 is the last day to order from this catalog and we no longer accept orders for this year (except, of course, for garden markers or the book). This web site will be updated for the 2011 season in early January and we begin taking orders for next year at that time. Meanwhile, you can Download the entire 2010 catalog in Adobe Acrobat format (without pictures) and browse the selections over the winter. Most will be in the 2011 catalog.

Beginning in 2010 we no longer print and mail a catalog. Rising printing and postage costs are partly to blame, but there is simply no comparison between a printed catalog and this web site. The printed catalog had only about 10% of the photos that are available on this site and the quality of those printed photos left much to be desired. If you're somewhat old fashioned like we are and want something to hold in your hand and mark up you can Download the entire catalog in Adobe Acrobat format (without pictures) and print it out. It's not a very large file but has all the text that would have been in a printed catalog.

We don't have online ordering, but you can print out an Order Form, make your selections and mail us the form, fax it to 615-523-8399 or call your order in to 800-934-4747. (And next to growing iris, we like best to talk about them.) You can also Email your order in to us

Our gardening year will begin with a booth at the annual Nashville Lawn and Garden Show, a plant lovers paradise in early March, coming just in time to save you from the winter blahs. This year it will be held March 4-7 and it's well worth a long drive to attend. There are lots of vendors selling great products and the gardens just have to be seen to be believed.

Pictured above is one of our beautiful 2010 introductions, a Louisiana iris named SILVER TONGUE, hybridized by our friends Heather and Bernard Pryor of Iris Haven in Australia.
