ASK HOLLY ❦Her AI garden helper — trained on twenty years of iris advice
What's a good fragrant variety that handles a hot dry yard?
'Beverly Sills' is my first pick — sweet fragrance and she shrugs off the heat. 'Sugar Blues' would be right behind her.

What Our Customers Say

"

The rhizomes arrived plump and healthy, with beautiful fans already showing. Holly's packing is the best I've ever seen from any iris nursery.

I've ordered from Holly three years running now. Every single variety has been true to name, and her growing advice is absolutely invaluable.

The 'Ask a Grower' feature helped me pick the perfect reblooming iris for my Zone 8 garden. Blooming beautifully in its first season!

Our Farm in Redding, California

NorCal Iris Gardens sits in the shadow of Mount Shasta, Shasta Lake, and Shasta Dam — the Three Shastas — in Redding, California. Holly has been growing bearded iris here for over 20 years, alongside her Haflinger horses, white peacocks, llamas, and specialty fowl.

Every rhizome is hand-dug, inspected, and shipped with care from our Northern California nursery. We take pride in growing vigorous, true-to-name iris varieties in the rich volcanic soil of the upper Sacramento Valley — and we love sharing this place with visitors by appointment.

Every rhizome leaves this farm checked by my own hands. — Holly
