Comments regarding Schreiner's Iris Gardens

Posted on April 12, 2023, updated April 12, 2023
Dry/desiccated “evergreen” daylily leaves; dug who knows when; I live only a few miles away, but might as well have come from another country; saving a photo as a reminder for the next time I hear “buy local”.

I have purchased from them with good results over many vears until Ziggy. My Ziggy iris has NEVER zigged - no stripes. I emailed the company and got a less that nice response that some Ziggy iris don't. Would have been nice if that little fact was mentioned in their catalog. So I no longer buy from them/

Very disappointed that despite early order the $35 iris that was the main one I wanted was sold out and substituted with a pink intro. I would have preferred a credit but never received any communication until it was delivered.

I asked if I could return it, no response.

I will not order from again.

The plants are big and healthy but pricey and for the price I'd like to get what I order. I don't want to pay $35 for a grab bag.

Thank you for this information. This is something that most of these companies don't understand. When you go online you have a onetime shot at capturing the public's attention. I bought from Schreiners about 25 years ago. I saw that they had a web site and went there and it is not up and running. I am an online rep with a company and I can guarantee if you lose out on that first contact, some people will not return. Since I had done business with them numerous times I knew their business practice and plants to be both sound. Because nothing was popping up, I though perhaps they had gone out of business. They should be advised they need to get their online catalog up and running.
