Southwestern Idaho growing conditions promote healthy disease free plants. Our elevation is 2,790 ft. Latitude is 43 deg. 35 min. north. Idaho soils vary from sandy, both granitic and lava, to clay. Radical changes in soil conditions over very short distances are just a fact of life in the Gem State. Good top soil is only found on flood plain areas. CIOP's soil is heavy clay with a ph of 6.5 to 7.5. Boise & the surounding Treasure Valley is rain challenged with only 12 inches per year. Sunshine is abundant. Our survival depends on extensive reservior systems holding water from winter snow pack in the nearby mountains. Flood irrigation & deep wells are the norm. Temperatures vary from a high of +111 deg. f. to a low of -26 deg. f. During the last decade winter temperatures in the minus catagory have been rare. Sagebrush, bitterbrush, prickly pear cactus and I. missouriensis are common native flora on the valley floor and surrounding foothills. Timbered areas naturally occur only where winter snows accumulate or along waterways. We are on city water and use an extensive soaker/drip system. USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6b.
C. Iris On Pond is NOT A RETAIL PLANT NURSERY OR STORE. On site plant sales are restricted.

Best to all Carol & Ken
