 We
are a specialist Iris and Daylily nursery. As you can see from the
map we are located south of
Adelaide where the Adelaide Hills meets the Fleriue Peninsula. Because
our climate is a little cooler than that of Adelaide we tend to be
later with our peak bloom time. The best time to visit us and see
our irises in full bloom is the last week of October and the first
week of November. Pacific Coast iris, Dwarf and Intermediate bearded
iris bloom early in October. The Japanese iris bloom November - December.
Ivar and Carol began the business almost twenty years ago. We
employed Brett four years ago and he is a most valued member of
the team.
Annually we produce a colour catalogue that includes a letter
to customers giving them an update of our activities for the
year.
Two years ago we diversified and became distributors of Universal
Rocks, ponds and waterfalls. We also distribute House of Bamboo
and Garden Trend products. Carol has given up her teaching career
and now works full time, with Brett, in the nursery and marketing
these products. Ivar is still a teacher but does nursery work and
installation of ponds on weekends and during school holidays.
We can now be contacted at Munn's Garden and Lawn Centre, 700 South
Rd Glandore where one of us will be available seven days a week
to offer any assistance in relation to irises, daylilies, ponds
and waterfalls, bamboo products and granite lantern garden ornaments.
Why grow irises or daylilies?
Irises are called the rainbow flower because they have the widest
range of colours of any garden plant.
Varieties range from semi-arid to water loving; some thrive on alkaline
soil whilst others prefer an acid soil. Most prefer full sun while
others enjoy a shaded spot in the garden. All are hardy, easy to
grow and will reward you richly.
There is a variety to suit every garden requirement and careful
selection will ensure flowers for several months of the year. Most
are spring flowering.
Daylilies have very similar requirements to irises and they flower
in summer. Some varieties will rebloom in the autumn (as will many
tall bearded iris) therefore giving almost constant bloom throughout
summer and autumn.
Irises and Daylilies warrant a place in every garden.
