Free purple iris plants and rhizomes

Late summer gives bearded iris (Iris germanica) the signal to divide, and that means you get the reward. These purple iris plants and rhizomes are available for free local pickup in Lake Hills, Bellevue, WA during early and mid fall — a perfect moment to get them settled before the ground firms up for winter.

Bearded iris thrive in full sun with well-drained soil and surprisingly little water once established. Plant rhizomes shallowly, with the top half exposed to sunlight, and expect those iconic ruffled blooms to arrive each spring. They’re cold-hardy, low-maintenance, and genuinely spreaders over time.

To claim yours, select your preferred pickup date and time when you submit your request. Whole plants go first while supplies last, followed by rhizomes. No shipping is available — this one’s for neighbors only. And one small tip: check your spam folder after submitting, since our confirmation email sometimes wanders there.
