Welcome to Richmond Irises web site.

The navigation buttons down the side of the page will take you to other pages on the site. The galleries listed at the bottom of the left hand column will give you pictures of most of the irises we have for sale. The Medians listed are a combination of the Border Bearded Irises [BB], The Intermediate Bearded Irises [IB] and the Miniature Tall Bearded Irises [MTB].

Our season is almost finished. The last of the orders are to be dug next week. We have sold out of quite a few varieties now and have limited supplies of a lot of others. It is likely that our catalogue will be a bit reduced next season. We are also trying to down-size as the workload becomes increasingly harder for us "oldies"'

The season did turn out to have a few difficulties with the December downpour Nelson experienced. The heaviest rainfall in December ever recorded. We had about 12 inches over 3 days! Our iris beds were underwater for a few days more and we did have some of the roots rotting off a few varieties. Most of them recovered and grew new root systems by February and we were able to supply most orders OK. We wonder what next season might bring? Already it is cooler and the summer was very brief.

The galleries on this site show most but not all of the irises we had listed this season and will be updated for our coming season about September.

You may be interested in joining the New Zealand Iris Society. There are groups throughout New Zealand, which hold regular meetings and have educational topics for those interested in the species iris. You do not have to be a specialised iris grower to join the society, but you can learn much from others and of course conventions get you to the most amazing gardens in New Zealand! If you are interested visit the society web site www.nziris.org.nz  

Ordes are accepted from the time you receive the price list and the bare rooted plants are available in December 2012, and again in February 2013. Our season will finish in aarly March 2013. It is no problem to post the plants in New Zealand.
