Like everyone else, all good stuff=) Very happy with my iris and the great communication. When I find room for more--I will definitely be returning to Hank's.

Very generous with bonuses. Good and PROMPT communications. Would order from Hank's again and recommend them. | | Positive | rayman6422 (1 review) | On May 9, 2007, rayman6422 Tucson, AZ wrote: I order 14 iris from Hank's (Louise) and I got 20. Like others there were a couple iris that I purchased that she was out of and she substituted with iris that are better choices than the ones I made. She continually updated me as to when she was digging the iris, boxing and shipping. Not only have I found a very reliable iris grower but I have also found a friend in Louise. If I ever think of purchasing more iris she is the person I will go to. | | Positive | tj0504 (12 reviews) | On September 10, 2006, tj0504 Saint Louis, MO wrote: Approximately 10 days ago I ordered 25 Iris from Hanks. There were outages. In each instance, Louise substituted iris that were better/more expensive. Further she sent approximately 10 bonus iris--and they weren't "throwaways", but full sized top of the line rhizomes. Still further I received all of them on yesterday. They arrived VERY fresh, in excellent condition, and well identified. The size is excellent.
Although I "spoke" with her only via e-mail, she seems very personable, and bends over backward to assist in any way possible. She responds to emails very quickly--more often than not, within hours.
Last, I have spent many days, perusing the internet for iris, the prices just don't get any better.
I will definitely do business with her again, and again, and again!!! | | Positive | TuddyE (41 reviews) | On August 11, 2006, TuddyE Georgetown, KY (Zone 6a) wrote:Well, the other reviews pretty much say it all--Wonderful experience!!
I had gotten iris as a gift from a friend who ordered them from Louise last fall. I loved them so much, I wanted more and decided to check out Hank's website myself. Boy, I was like a kid in a candy store, such a huge selection. Right after narrowing it down and placing my order, Louise got in touch with me to confirm. She kept in contact regularly, diligently answering any e-mail I sent, even with family birthdays and goings on. She was becoming a friend, and I was just someone who placed an order.
Well that order arrived a little earlier than she had even promised, and boy what an order. I too found almost everything on my sub list in my box, as well as most of my order [ a couple of things were sold out, and she subbed similiar but more expensive plants].
I'm not sure how she does it with prices lower than the big companies, terrific personal service, great selection, good quality, and the best bonuses around. However she does it, I am just glad she does. I will order again and again, it will take many more big orders before I get at least one of most of what she sells. Jackie from KY On June 12th, 2007, TuddyE added the following:
I ordered again, how could I not with such a wonderful experience. Guess what? Yeap, things were even better this time. Yes, she kept me informed with several e-mails, still had the great selection and prices, sent them out promptly, they were all healthy--- but the new part is they now come with permanent metal markers! Each iris has a metal tag secured with wire, that has been engraved with the name. Now I don\'t have to rush getting the signs made. If my hubby throws them in a pile [by accident of course!] they can be separated and still know exactly what is what. I couldn\'t be more elated to find such a great place to buy iris of all types, and she\'s a Dave\'s garden member to boot. This time I am really glad to keep it in the family--Great work Louise!

Louise (owner) was trying to find me! My Paypal email addy was incorrect. I called her to give my updated information. She wanted to know other plants I might enjoy having, in case a substitution was necessary. She didn't want to "blindly" send me something! She was very professional, courteous, and kind. She went the extra yard for me! I am waiting to receive my plants, but I am sure they will be excellent, too! | | Positive | john21099 (1 review) | On August 2, 2005, john21099 Knob Noster, MO wrote: A great place to do business with, reliable, professsional and friendly.

I offer over 500 tall-bearded iris including many rebloomers.
I grew up on the property, although I don't live there now, my mother still resides there. My father, Hank, rode around on his John Deere taking care of corn and other vegetables where the iris are now grown. My dad passed away in 2001 and I have dedicated the garden to my dad, thank you dad for making me the gardener that I am and mom, thank you for all of your help!
Thanks so much!

I am in the process of updating my website at this time. I won\'t be doing printed catalogs this year as my daughter does them for me and is busy with her own job right now. I hope to have it updated as soon as possible. Please check back from time to time. Thanks for looking! |
