Shadowood is a hobby iris garden set in the north woods of Minnesota. I have been collecting and growing irises of all bearded classes, along with a variety of beardless types, since 1995. With Mother Nature's ruthless assistance, my iris garden has evolved into a collection of the hardiest of the hardy, the irises that can survive extended periods of sub-zero temps with little snow cover in winter, followed by summers with 90+ degree heat and humidity. Those irises that are tough enough to survive my climatic and growing conditions require regular division. This catalog is born of my desire to make available my extra irises to those gardeners who appreciate the unparalleled beauty of irises and who are looking for garden plants that can perform without coddling.
