What companies have robin members found to
be good sources for Siberian Iris?
So far, I've ordered (or will be ordering) from the
following:
Snowpeak Iris (generous
divisions, good prices + very nice extras, very good packaging and probably the
best customer service I've every seen anywhere)
EZIris.com (extremely
generous divisions, very good prices, not so good packaging, and I found borers
in one of the clumps they sent - for a 26 fan clump sold for 3.99 I'll take the
extra time to pick over each fan carefully, however)
Ensata Gardens (very good
selection, extremely good photos on website, but pricier than other places -
can't comment on packaging or plants themselves yet, as just placed my first
order)
Miller's Manor Gardens (of
old my first choice for siberians; just placed an order for fall delivery after
finally getting a catalog from them; large divisions (often clumps), probably
the lowest prices overall I've found yet, plus they give 50% extras on
Siberians! Packaging OK. Customer service often very slow to respond to
inquiries)
Iris City Gardens (very
nice website, good prices, can't comment on packaging or plants themselves, as
just getting ready to place my first order)
Tranquil Lake Nursery
(nice website, very pricy plants; haven't ordered from here yet)
Aitken's Salmon Creek
Gardens (several small orders many years ago. Plants were OK, packaging OK,
prices on lower end and still are according to info on their
website)
Boone Brier Farm (just
found out about this company, contemplating placing an order)
Homestead Farms (just
found out about this company, contemplating placing an order)
All of the these have websites (although the one
for Miller's Manor hasn't been updated since 2003). Are there any good companies
offering Siberians that only sell through a print catalog?
Finally, does anyone know the scoop on Deer Creek
Farm? A google search for Siberian Iris usually turns up Deer Creek being listed
among the first few sites, but their website hasn't been updated for several
years and e-mail sent to them does not get answered. It thus appears to me that
their website is on automatic pilot.
Best Regards,
Arthur
