The Eastern Shore Iris Society will host its annual Iris Sale on Saturday, July 25th, at Boscov’s at the Centre at Salisbury. The sale will begin at 10:00 AM and will continue until 1:00 unless sold out earlier. This is a fabulous opportunity for local gardeners to purchase interesting and hard to find varieties of iris including Siberian, Japanese, Spuria, and tall bearded and miniature tall bearded iris will be among the offerings. The sale offers an opportunity to add unique varieties as well as old standards to your garden at a fraction of their retail cost and talk with experienced growers about cultivation of these hardy and beautiful plants. Some iris bloom several times a year, others bloom early-, mid-, or late-season. Spurias are gaining attention for their qualities as cut flowers that last up to a week or longer (the look much like a very large Dutch iris). Japanese Iris are highly sought after, especially as plants for pond settings. Now, iris lovers can plant various cultivars and have iris blooming in their garden for virtually the entire Spring and early season with some bonus blooms in the Fall. For questions about the sale or to become a member please contact Ann at 410-742-5410.

THose are some very nice iris. As a gardener I recognize the Japanses iris at the top. I bought it retain and I thingk I paid $12 plus shipping. ESIS always has great bargains at their sale. I saw their flier at How Sweet It Is and I think that all Japanese iris are $5.
Thank you to all who came out today to the sale. It was nice to see old friends and meet some new ones. We had a great time and I think everyone got some fantastic bargains. Many many thanks to Ann, without her tireless efforts this sale would not have been half as successful!
Now I must go as I have a million new iris to plant!
Ann is a great gardener and friend. I am pleased to hear that the sale was successful and fun. Jenanne, thanks for coming out...and now, back to the garden.
Does anyone know if there will be another sale? I missed this one.
