The Eastern Shore Iris Society To Host Event This Weekend

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.
