IRIS HAVEN is a specialist, mail-order, Louisiana iris nursery, located in Sydney, Australia.
Proprietors, Heather & Bernard Pryor, are hybridisers of world-class Louisiana irises. IRIS HAVEN was created to enable them to share their gardening passion with others.
Welcome! Well, we are back again for our sixteenth cyber version of our website. We hope that you like the improvements; the clearer photos and the additional information we have recently incorporated into the pages.
The 2011/2012 season will celebrate a wonderful new release LADY CECILY, by Heather Pryor. 'Lady Cecily' is named for the well-loved and admired president of the RHS of NSW Floral Art Group, Mrs. Cecily Rogers. While in limited numbers, we wanted to release this special cultivar during the 150th anniversary year for The RHS of NSW (Inc). - 2012.
Our little family, which started out in 1990 with just Heather & Bernard as hybridisers and IRIS HAVEN as our only sales outlet has grown a little over the years... In 2012 it has now grown to encompass Greg and Macey McCullough of IRIS CITY GARDENS in Nashville, Tennessee, USA - plus RIVENDELL IRIS GARDENS in New Zealand. Who would have thought that something that was initially so small could grow to span the Pacific and Indian Oceans, plus incorporate hybridisers from around Australia in our national and international efforts? We have a happy family indeed - and are proud of it!
Our northern hemisphere shipping period will re-open from about mid March, 2012 onwards and will close at the end of July, 2012. Customers from the United Kingdom and Singapore joined our 'family' of avid collectors this year - and we welcome you to the exciting world of Louisiana iris growing!
Southern hemisphere shipping will re-commence from approx. 31st December, 2011 onwards until approx. 30th JUNE, 2012. Please note that this season opening date is approximately two weeks later than normal and the closure date is approximately one month earlier than normal.
Please contact our US agents, Iris City Gardens, if you wish to obtain any of our cultivars - and if you live in the USA. If you live elsewhere in the northern hemisphere - please contact us to ascertain current stock listings. Similarly, please contact our NZ agents, Rivendell Iris gardens, if you wish to obtain any of our cultivars - and you live in New Zealand.
As in the past, we have now split our General Louisiana Iris Catalogue listing into three sections. Page 6 is the listing of cultivars available from A-G, Page 9 is the listing of cultivars from H-) inclusive and Page 3 is the listing of Louisiana iris cultivars from P-Z inclusive. By splitting the pages we've been able to load more photos.
However, both our regular-height Louisiana iris cultivars AND our shorter-growing 'Water Sprite' cultivars are grouped in straight alphabetical order on the two pages noted above. All of the shorter-growing 'Water Sprite' cultivars are clearly denoted as such.
We have done our best to load as many photos as possible onto these pages, but we have reduced the photo size to allow ease of loading for our non-broadband customers. Should you wish to receive a larger photo of any cultivar, just email us at irishaven@pip.com.au - and we will be happy to send it to you via email.
We've also expanded our Water & Bog Iris/Water & Bog Plant page (page 7) to include an expanded ragne of iris Virginica cultivars - some of which are from our own breeding programmes.
Customers in Australia need to note that all prices on this website are listed WITHOUT GST. When ordering, you need to add the GST payable. Our overseas customers can just work with the prices as listed, as there is no GST payable on export shipments.
AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMERS WILL NEED TO ADD 10% GST TO THE PRICES NOTED ON THIS WEBSITE.
Our nursery will remain closed to the public during 2011/2012. We will, however, continue to provide our efficient mail order service to every customer. By keeping our premises closed, we are able to keep our running costs down to a minimum - and this translates to better prices for our customers. I need to note here a very friendly reminder that we are not open to the public, as our premises is not set-up for public visitations. Please don't ask us to open for you to inspect our premises, as we are a mail order nursery ONLY.
Heather will continue with her programme of garden club visits during 2011 and 2012. If you are intending to visit any of the events listed on the 'What's Happening' page, please drop by to say hi. Details of Heather's outings - and IRIS HAVEN exhibition details can be found on our "What's Happening At Iris Haven" page (page 8).
If we can assist you further in any way - please don't hesitate to contact us via email, telephone or fax. Until then - happy gardening to one and all.
