Dwarf Iris Society

Celebrating 75 Years

DIS Annual Meeting via Zoon

You're invited to attend the DIS Annual Members' Meeting 2026 on Saturday, September 26th at 4pm Eastern / 3pm Central / 2pm Mountain / 1pm Pacific time. The meeting will be conducted via Zoom. There will be a couple of intriguing presentations and an opportunity for you to meet our board members, ask questions, or provide feedback for us.  Jeff Bennett will give a presentation on biochar, which sounds fascinating and incredibly useful for irises and other garden plants. Jennifer Sowell will introduce us to some underused resources and information available online with a focus on the DIS website. DIS members and nonmembers are welcome! If you would like to attend, please email internet@dwarfirissociety.org for full details.

2025 was the 75th anniversary of the Dwarf Iris Society. Check out the anniversary merchandise at our online store.

If you are not yet a member please consider joining. If you  join at the triennial level, you receive a $10 discount toward our plant sale or seed sale!

Welcome!


The Dwarf Iris Society, founded in 1950, is a section of the American Iris Society devoted to the miniature dwarfs (MDBs), tiniest of all bearded irises. The MDB class is defined as bearded irises up to 20 cm (8 inches) in height. We also encourage interest in other types of small irises, such as reticulatas, arilbred dwarfs, and dwarf beardless irises.

You are invited to learn more about dwarf irises by touring our photo gallery of more than 100 pictures, perusing the articles in our reading room, or checking out DIS activities, including the display garden program, plant sale, and seed sale.




If you love dwarf irises as much as we do, consider becoming a member of DIS to receive our informative annual Portfolio and participate in some of our many activities.

Be sure to check out our Facebook page and its popular discussion group.
