I am always interested in trading for irises I don’t already grow. If you would like to propose a trade, please note the following:
- For the sake of the economy in postal costs, I prefer to trade for at least three rhizomes (different cultivars).
- I trade rhizome for rhizome. If you want three rhizomes from me (either of the same or different cultivars), I will request one rhizome each of three different cultivars from you.
- When trading named irises, I prefer to trade only for irises originally acquired from reputable commercial iris sources. No “mart” irises, please.
- Due to my very adverse growing conditions, I can not promise any trades immediately before I dig the plants.
- Because of my short growing season, I must complete all trades and have all rhizomes in my hands by the third week of July.
If interested in trading, please e-mail me with your list of available irises, and I will reciprocate with my current list.
Thanks!
The following list includes irises I am very eager to add to my garden. If you have enough of any of these to trade, LET’S TALK! I am, however, interested in countless other irises as well, so don’t let this list restrict your trade offer. Just send me your entire trade list, and we’ll see what we can work out.

I am also very interested in increasing my collections of Siberians, setosas, versicolors, miniature tall beardeds, broken color beardeds, and pre-1960 historic beardeds. Because my collections of these types of irises are modest, I would be happy to consider most irises fitting into these categories for trades.
