Positive | Layers (1 review) | On Nov 18, 2011, Layers Glendale, AZ wrote: I live in Arizona and we do not have many local sources for Siberian Iris, ergo the web search. Our summers are so hot for so long that normal shipping times do not apply as the intense heat can cook bareroot plants. I communicated with Polly and explained I needed a very late in the season shipment. Polly's plant availabilty was low when I called so we agreed on a specific amount of money and Polly selected plants from those remaining at end of season. Polly waited until snow was falling there (still quite hot here) and sent the plants, all of which appear healthy, professionally packaged and now safely planted in their new home. On a side note, I seem to be Polly's first Arizona customer and promised pictures of the progress next spring. I rarely get this professional and personalized service from mail order companies, and highly recommend this site.

The irises are gorgeous, their communications are thorough and delightful. And, as noted, they're not only generous with the bonuses but the plants are clearly chosen in light of the tastes the buyer has demonstrated. I don't know how they do it but I'm glad they do!

They were packed carefully, had great big, undamaged root structures and lush green fans. I can't wait to see them bloom.

Nailed it. Patti On May 12th, 2010, bbrookrd added the following: I received another great order from Siberian Iris Garden this spring. My husband was amazed at the care and quality of the packing and instruction that we got with them. I was thrilled with the selection and with all the great extra bonus plants that she included. Many of the ones I got last year bloomed beautifully their first year which was unexpected. I am so looking forward to ordering more next year, and I must be faster at getting my order in, as she does sell out quickly. No doubtbecause they are so fine. Thanks, Patti On May 13th, 2011, bbrookrd added the following: Today I got my spring order from Siberian Iris Garden and was once again beyond happy with the plants, packing, communication and generosity of the vendor.

Thank you so much for the extras! All are in their new homes and the weather is perfect for getting them off to a good start - overcast and cool. Thanks again for such a nice bunch of plants.

Positive | RHirseman (1 review) | On May 9, 2011, RHirseman Quincy, MA wrote: Like others who have posted here before me, I recently had an excellent experience with Siberian Iris Gardens. I knew I wanted some beardless iris for a periennial border and found this nursery here in the Watchdog. Before I ordered I emailed Polly with a few questions which she answered very quickly and helped me clarify my order. I requested a variety of colors, heights, and bloom times and that's exactly what I got. They sent 22 iris (that includes 4 "bonus" plants) in 21 varieties. In fact, the only duplicate was an unusual yellow and white one, which is perfect for me. The price was excellent; the plants were heathly, carefully wrapped and labelled; the planting information provided is useful and well-written; and they came exactly when I wanted. Couldn't ask for a better mailorder nursery experience.

The quality is superb and is unmatched by any other company. The communication is amazing.....after 2 orders, I already feel like Polly is a dear friend. In addition, besides getting a very healthy and very generous 'clump' of rhizomes for each plant that I ordered, I was thrilled to receive a few bonus plants. I have been gardening for over 30 years, and I have never experienced a company that comes close to this one. I can guarantee that if you order from this company, you, too will be more-than-thrilled with the entire experience.

It's always a true pleasure to do business with Polly at Siberian Iris Gardens. They certainly know how to treat people and send you top of the line plants. Once again I was blowed away by everything I ordered not to mention several bonus plants that I've been wanting for awhile now. You just can't go wrong with buying plants from them! I promise they send better Sibs and Jap iris than anyone else I know. Thanks again and I can't wait to order again next year.

I'm crossing my fingers for the Japanese to do all right for you in the south. There has not been much, if any, testing of Japanese iris in Texas, so I'm anxious to see how they do. Glad you were willing to try them. " |

Positive | louaxe (1 review) | On Oct 15, 2009, louaxe Saint Louis, MO wrote: I ordered three Siberian Iris plants and one Iris versicolor plant from Siberian Iris Gardens online. I was informed that one of the irises I ordered had just sold out, but that they would substitute another variety for no extra charge even though the substituted variety was more expensive that the one for which it was substituted. The order was sent as soon as they received my PayPal payment. It arrived three days after it was sent. What a surprise! Included in the order were three bonus Siberian Irises and two bonus Japanese Irises, more than the number of irises I ordered!! All of the irises were of great size and in great shape. On top of that, four plastic encased sheets were included. One had the invoice printed on one side and and a description of each iris variety in the order on the other side. The other three sheets covered preparing for irises, growing Siberian Irises, and growing Japanese, Bog, Water and Species Beardless Irises. What fantastic service and irises! When I order beardless irises again, it will be from Siberian Iris Gardens!!

Even after reading all the positive comments left for Siberian Iris Gardens, I was incredulous upon receiving this package. I knew the package was on its way due to Polly's excellent communications. The plants are large healthy divisions meticulously wrapped so there was no incidence of drying out during transit. She included the invoice, plant descriptions and cultural requirements in durable plastic sleeves that can go directly into a binder. This is a company I will order from repeatedly, the only trick being getting my order in before she sells out. An absolutely outstanding job by Polly!!!
