Pacific Coast Irises, Iris x pacifica

    The varieties of these Pacific Coast hybrid Iris that we're offering for spring are listed towards the top of this page. We wish that all of the Irises shown further down the page could be offered this spring, but they continue to be a bit of a challenge to grow in pots. We're going to dig more of our field-grown mother plants both in spring and towards summer's end to grow in pots and see if we can't offer all of the varieties pictured here for the fall-spring of 2025-2026.
   This page contains hybrids of irises that are native to northern California and southern Oregon. They are best grown in soil that is acid, such as soil amended with a generous amount of humus or well-rotted compost. Filtered light or partial shade is best in most gardens, especially when grown in climates different from their native range. Mulching during winter is recommended where winter climates are more severe.
 
 

These are the ones that we have the greatest number of. They are especially strong and vigorous growers.
