We launch the English Iris Company in May 2013, nearly four years after after Bryan Dodsworth’s death in June 2009. Our aim is to promote British Bearded Irises.
We opened the Nottinghamshire garden twice in 2010/11 in aid of Help for Heroes. Since then we have been working hard to identifying and catalogue the iris collection. This exercise is now substantially complete.
We are introducing a small number of top quality Bearded Irises to the market in 2013 for the first time. Going forward, our plan is to release a few new varieties each year, but not to compromise on quality.
However, we are fortunate to have stocks of amazing irises, many of which have previously never been made available commercially. The launch of the English Iris Company is a tremendous opportunity to raise the profile of Bryan Dodsworth’s Award Winning British Bearded Irises.
