Nurturing blooms in the heart of Denver, Colorado, Iris4U Gardens is a cherished sanctuary for all things iris. Affectionately known as Iris Bob, the skilled hands behind the operation cultivate and offer a stunning collection of over 1000 vibrant Tall Bearded Iris varieties to the community. With a passion for hybridizing these enchanting flowers, Iris Bob carefully tends to around 10,000 seedlings, each waiting to reveal its unique beauty.
Established on a humble 1 ¾ acres in 1994, Iris4U Gardens has evolved over the years, expanding to nearly 3 acres of blooming paradise through the acquisition of neighboring properties. This growth has made the garden a truly exceptional destination, especially during the peak of the colorful bloom season.
The Iris4U legacy extends beyond the borders of Colorado, with the opening of Iris4u Greenhouse in Hamburg, Germany, in 2009. This international presence showcases the dedication of this family of iris enthusiasts to sharing their passion with the world.
In his quest to enrich landscapes with the allure of irises, Bob also manages a landscape maintenance business, which fuels his unwavering love for growing and hybridizing Tall Bearded Iris. What began as a simple request for a pink iris has blossomed into a full-fledged transformation into Iris Bob, a renowned hybridizer in the iris community.
With a meticulous eye for detail, Bob sifts through countless seedlings, selecting the best and discarding the rest in pursuit of excellence. This attentive process mirrors Iris4u’s commitment to cultivating Tall Bearded Iris for their exquisite beauty, exceptional performance, and the joy they bring to all who behold them.
