I have a few passalong iris and mentioned in one of these forums before that I was looking for historic iris for my PA farmstead. I was thinking along the lines of 1940's and earlier.

Other than Superstition, most of the places I've seen that tout historic iris seem to be later than this. I was told that it was better to buy local iris than to get them from the west coast as they would be adapted to our area.

So, who grows iris in the MidAtlantic? Are there gardens to visit in Maryland that have extensive iris gardens and who sell corms?

I can relax my strict sense of the historic for my Maryland house (almost 1960's) so for here it doesn't matter.

Advice welcomed.
