Winterberry Iris Gardens

Welcome to Winterberry Gardens, the home of Don and Ginny Spoon, over 6,000 different iris cultivars, and even more numerous seedlings of bearded irises. Both Don and Ginny, and our son Bryan, hybridize irises, and have received top awards with our hybrids from the American Iris Society and the International Competition in Florence, Italy. Please explore our web page and enjoy our photos and articles about our bearded irises grown and developed in northern Virginia. Pictured above is a clump of one of our 2010 introductions, named  'Bluebirds Fly'.

What We Do

We grow, sell and hybridize bearded irises in our northern Virginia garden. Our shipping season is from July 1, through October 15, and gift certificates are available all year. Our current catalog is available for $5. We do not sell through our website, but we put photos of our irises and information on it that we do not have room enough in our catalog. We hope you will enjoy browsing through our website.
