Winterberry Iris Gardens

Welcome to Winterberry Gardens, the home of Don and Ginny Spoon, thousands of 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 15th.

I am unable to download images so look for photos on the Winterberry Iris Gardens Facebook page which I hope to work on during the holidays and post our new introductions.

We take orders all year, but we do not ship until July 1 through Oct 15th.

We also offer gift certificates all year and they make wonderful gifts for Mother's Day, birthdays, Christmas, etc.

Browse through our listings and photos on the right. To see the description of the irises in the photos just click on the photo. To order you may call us or send us a list with your order.

My husband and my friend, Don Spoon, passed away in August, but I am still going to sell and introduce our irises as long as I can manage. I have lots of wonderful help in the garden which I love so I hope it will be some years before the garden passes to someone else.
