Schreiner’s Iris Gardens Closing In On 100

“Tillamook Bay” (Schreiner, ’21)

Join us in celebration of our 96th year! This year the theme of our catalog centers around our home state of Oregon. Inside our 32-page print catalog, you will find stunning images of the breathtaking locations around our beautiful state, as well as dozens of eye-popping colorful iris. The names of our 2021 iris introductions, of course, take their inspiration from all things Oregon…. from the dramatic coastline on the western edge, to the wide open high dessert of the east, and everything in between.

Below is just a sample of the many new iris we’ve introduced for 2021.

 

(Clockwise from upper left: “Agate Beach“, “Along the Lines” (dwarf iris), “Brooklyn” (dwarf iris), “Starlight Parade“, “Jawbone Flats“, “Devil’s Punchbowl“)

Request a copy of our free 2021 print catalog on our website or by phone at 800-525-5367.

Seedling I8-A

This year we extend the Iris naming fun to one of our Dwarf Bearded Iris seedlings.

She blooms early in the season.

Thank you, one and all….

October sunrise over newly planted Iris fields

Thank you for a wonderful season.

To all of our customers — past, present and future — we thank you. You represent our heritage and our legacy. In this season of planning and planting, we embrace the coming winter, and look to the bounty of the spring. But there’s no rushing nature.

Not even in this impatient era of “instant gratification” and “what’s in it for me” can the forces of nature be hurried. Yet, with lightning speed, we all share our joys and woes; our pleasure or displeasure with a personal experience or product purchased. We share images of our latest acquisition, mountain climbed, or newest blossom to open in the garden (the latter being our favorite always). Comments, praise, and complaints fly through the social cyber waves to our virtual doorstep. We, here at Schreiner’s Gardens, receive these messages with open arms, receptive minds and humble hearts. Social posts, emails, and letters all serve to bind us better to you, our customers. For this connection, we are grateful.

For four generations of Iris (and Daylily) farming we’ve been growing our connections — building our followers, you could say. With all of you, we share our successes, because we care about what’s in it for you.

Thank you for another great season.

Best wishes for a peaceful Autumn,

Willamette Valley Springtime Equals Color

Think spring. Visit us in May.

Visitors to our Display Gardens during Bloom Season in May

From the foothills of the Coast Range in the west to the lowlands of the Cascade Range in the east, color washes across the Willamette Valley in waves of color from early to late spring.

On our farm, acres of Bearded Iris open in a rainbow show beginning early to mid-March, with the colors continuing through late May to early June. Patch by patch, the Dwarf varieties to the grand Tall Beardeds, take their turn opening blooms in a dizzying array of color combinations.

Our 10-acre Display Garden, located here on our farm since 1947 (Schreiner family history), is dedicated to the display of Tall Bearded Iris. Nearly 500 named varieties are planted among spring-blooming perennials for a well-rounded display of form, texture, and COLOR!

Plan your trip to visit during our Bloom Season Open House, May 11 to May 31st this year.

We look forward to seeing you!
