| Company Comment, posted on August 19, 2008: |
Siberian Iris Gardens is a new company to the internet, but we are not a new nursery, having been in business for over 16 years now. I am now trying to be brave, and venture into internet sales.
We specialize in beardless iris. Siberians, of course, Japanese, and lots of water irises, also, such as virginicas, pseudatas, and robustas.
We truly look forward to doing business with you, and I'm sure you will be happy with our plants. It's guaranteed!

I want to thank everyone for their wonderful orders. It is the end of the season, and I am propagating the irises as fast as I can. We ran out of some this year, and will probably do the same in 2010. But I have high hopes for 2011. (And I've got some great new cultivars).
Being new to internet iris sales I never expected the amount of purchases we had. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think we would get all the wonderful orders we did.
And the graciousness of the people I had to contact, and tell them we were sold out of an iris they wanted, simply amazing.
I want to say thank you to all my wonderful customers for an absolutely fantastic first year, and I hope to hear from you again.
Thank you all!
Polly & Russ @ Siberian Iris Gardens

| Positive | lovelyiris Winnsboro, TX (6 reviews) October 15, 2009 | Just received my first Japanese Irises from Siberian Iris Gardens. The plants are all very healthy, neatly packaged, with name tags attached. Polly has out done herself once again with providing excellent service, communication, and plants. She also sent me some companion plants to use in my flowerbeds and gardens.
The company included culture, planting instructions, care, and so forth in sheet protectors. Something I plan on keeping in my gardening journal to fall back on when I need to remember tips for growing these plants and getting the most out of them.
I will be at the front of the line to order plants from her in 2010!!! 5 stars all the way around when getting plants from Siberian Iris Gardens. You just can't go wrong with this company! Try it, you too will be a repeat customer. Company representative comment on October 19, 2009: On Oct 19, 2009 8:35 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Lovelyiris, thank you! 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 Saint Louis, MO (1 review) October 15, 2009 | 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!! Company representative comment on October 19, 2009: On Oct 19, 2009 8:38 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Louaxe, what a wonderful comment. You cannot know how great that makes me feel.
I was thrilled you were willing to try some of the species. I hope more people will come to love them, as they are soooo easy to grow and maintain.
Thank you so much! | | Positive | want2bee cedar rapids, IA (Zone 5a) (1 review) October 08, 2009 | Wish there was a SUPER POSITVE to mark.. I found Polly by accident and was scared to order not knowing for sure what I 'd get..But after reading ALL the reviews I decieded to give it a try. And being so LATE, she was sold out of a lot, but worked with me to get the look I'm after..VERY HELPFUL!
What a great company to order from...like the others said the packing, the instructions in the plastic seelves WOW!! The plants are large healthy divisions meticulously wrapped so there was no incidence of drying out during transit.
Polly also took time to hand write a very kind note, and surprised me with some extras, she had found out we had been in the floods, and the gift of kindness was a true surprise!!
This is a company I will order from repeatedly, the only trick will being getting my order in before she sells out.
An absolutely outstanding job Polly!!! Company representative comment on October 19, 2009: On Oct 19, 2009 8:33 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Thank you want2bee! Here's hoping you have a great spring flowering show! | | Positive | NickysIris Cherryvale, KS (1 review) September 30, 2009 | Great experience with a wonderful lady! Many extra, and all healthy! Thank You ! Your friend in the garden, Nicky Company representative comment on October 03, 2009: On Oct 3, 2009 12:07 AM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Thanks, Nicky, for the wonderful feedback. (You can't even tell the S is missing, LOL). I hope you will post pictures on the iris forum, when the irises bloom. I always love seeing your pictures! | | Positive | venu209 Jersey Shore, NJ (Zone 7a) (8 reviews) September 26, 2009 | WOW!! 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!!! Company representative comment on September 29, 2009: On Sep 29, 2009 9:05 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Venu 209, thank you so much for the kind comments. I am so glad you were happy with your order.
I am propagating irises as fast as my hands can work, LOL. I expect there will be a shortage again next year, but in 2011 I hope to have sufficient quantity to cover any orders. Being new to internet iris selling I never expected the orders i got, and believe me, I thank everyone for their kindness and patience with the ones I was sold out of, and that includes you!
Thank you! | | Positive | stormyla Norristown, PA (Zone 6b) (23 reviews) September 25, 2009 | I ordered my first Japanese Iris from this company earlier this summer. The owner immediately confirmed my order and pointed out that the plants would be shipped later in the season as stated on their website.
I took the opportunity to correspond with her regarding my goals for the plants as I was still looking for another variety to add to a grouping. The owner considered my requirements and sent photos of two other plants, not on her website that I might want to consider.
One really apealed to me, so I chose that one. Polly wrote back and said that she would send those plants (3 of them) as a bonus. When the order arrived she actually sent both of the suggested varieties as a bonus. What generosity.
Polly also followed up my purchase by email to see if I had any questions. I asked her some specific questions regarding cultivation and we exchanged several mails where she offered much appreciated advice.
This is exemplary service and value and I will be sure to order from them again. Company representative comment on September 29, 2009: On Sep 29, 2009 9:00 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Your first Japanese irises! I so hope they will do well for you. (PS, they are addicting also).
I appreciate the wonderful feedback.
It was a pleasure speaking and emailing with you.
Thank you stormyla! | | Positive | Zuzu Sebastopol, CA (Zone 9a) (36 reviews) September 19, 2009 | This was such a positive experience: Wonderful plants, perfectly packaged, supplemented with several exciting bonuses, and accompanied by plastic-encased pages of planting and growing instructions. They arrived looking perfect even after traveling from New York to California during a somewhat unexpected mid-September heat wave. Company representative comment on September 20, 2009: On Sep 20, 2009 9:58 AM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Thank you so much, Zuzu. As you (and my poor inspector) know I was really sweating my first order into California. And had I known there was a heat wave, eek. But I'm glad it worked out well, and I'm very glad you're happy with the irises. | | Positive | poppysue Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) (37 reviews) June 02, 2009 | I had a great experience ordering from Siberian Iris Gardens. The plants I received were healthy and large and Polly is a pleasure to deal with. She sent not one but several bonus plants along with my order. I wouldn't hesitate to order again. Company representative comment on June 04, 2009: On Jun 4, 2009 9:17 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Thank you poppysue. I truly appreciate your ordering from me, and the great feedback. | | Positive | LordCollingwood Saint Johnsbury, VT (1 review) May 24, 2009 | I ordered twenty unnamed Siberians - received 24+ plants that were healthy, generously sized and very moist. A lot of care went into packing my order; I was also sent two emails with cultural and planting instructions. A great source for Siberian Iris. Company representative comment on May 25, 2009: On May 25, 2009 1:57 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:I'm very glad you're happy with the irises. Siberians do make great landscaping plants with their pretty foliage. I so appreciate the feedback. Thank you! | | Positive | Aniela Garland, ME (2 reviews) May 16, 2009 | From Angela, I was overjoyed at the wonderful service and care in preparation, and the personal interest. We are just not used to such superb service and really rank this company far above all the rest. It should be the top rated in Dave's Garden! It would be a great world if others were like Polly and her husband. Company representative comment on May 17, 2009: On May 17, 2009 6:43 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Thank you Angela.
It was such a pleasure doing business with you. I really appreciate the open mindedness you have about trying some of the different types of iris. That makes it really fun for me picking out the irises to send. | | Positive | Mshadow Houghton Lake, MI (Zone 4b) (4 reviews) May 15, 2009 | Received my first order from this company today and wish I would have know about Siberian Iris Gardens sooner. I can only say that I was totally pleased. The size of the plants were huge, packing was wonderful. I also received 3 very nice bonus plants. Also included were culture and planting instructions enclosed in plastic protectors. I will definitely order from this company again. Definitely one of the better places I have ordered Siberian irises from. Company representative comment on May 17, 2009: On May 17, 2009 6:40 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Thank you very much for the nice feedback.
I can't wait to see the irises in some of those beautiful pictures you take! | | Positive | KMSimpson Gandeeville, WV (1 review) May 05, 2009 | This company is a great example of the benefits of ordering from a specialist. Polly gave me friendly and expert advice. The plants came at the ideal time for planting, and were large and in great shape.
The documentation was the best I've ever seen, from ANY mail order firm (plants, books, widgets, whatever). The planting and care instructions are clear and detailed, the invoice readable, and there's a list of the plants with names, type, and description which is perfect for my permanent files.
Well done! Company representative comment on May 09, 2009: On May 9, 2009 9:51 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Thank you so much for the kind words.
I debated about giving the iris descriptions, and putting the instructions in the sheet protectors, so I am really glad to have some feedback on that.
Much appreciated! | | Positive | bbrookrd nantucket, MA (Zone 7a) (32 reviews) April 29, 2009 | I ordered 12 plants from Siberian Iris Gardens in March and requested the order this week. The order arrived today in perfect shape. The packing was great, as the plants arrived nice and damp and the size of the fibrous roots of the Siberians was very generous and the rhizomes on the Ensata was also a better clump than I have normally received from other vendors in the past. I had wonderful communication with them about the order immediately after I sent them the order. I was immediately informed of the unavailability of one plant on my order and updates about shipping. A perfect experience of online plant ordering from Siberian Iris Gardens. The website is very clear, with good information and excellent photographs. I am most pleased. A "Be Back" for sure. Thanks, Patti On May 2nd, 2009, bbrookrd added the following:
Forgot to mention the glorious addition of bonus iris that were obviously selected with great thought about what I would love and beyond generous. Nailed it. Patti Company representative comment on April 29, 2009: On Apr 29, 2009 9:19 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Patti.
It will be a treat to see pictures of my babies blooming in your beautiful gardens. | | Positive | color_queen Lake Village, IN (Zone 5a) (2 reviews) April 27, 2009 | Received my Siberians today and was totally pleased. Well packed, large healthy plants, generous bonus plants and great descriptive and cultural information included. Would definitely recommend! Company representative comment on April 28, 2009: On Apr 28, 2009 6:27 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Thank you for the positive feedback. It was certainly a pleasure doing business with you. Much appreciated! | | Positive | ge1836 Pittsford, NY (Zone 6a) (19 reviews) April 11, 2009 | I just recieved my Iris.
WOW What great plants.
Really big divisions and wet as well.
The box got here in one day. Polly is a packing demon.
I will definatly order again, they are so friendly and really make the customer feel like Number1 Company representative comment on April 11, 2009: On Apr 11, 2009 1:53 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens responded with:Thank you for the nice comments. It has been a pleasure dealing with you too!
I saw pictures of where you are going to put the irises, and of the combo plants that are being planted with them, and I'm so happy my babies are going to such a good home. | | Positive | michigander Lachine, MI (2 reviews) September 16, 2008 | Siberian Iris Gardens always send heathy, large sized plants,
everytime I recieve them!
Friendly, fast, honest service! Goes the extra mile to see that you are happy with your plants!
I've been dealing with this company for 2 years now and have added them to my favorites list!
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Sandy Reebel Company representative comment on September 16, 2008:
On Sep 16, 2008 10:54 AM, Siberian Iris Gardens added:Thank you for the feedback Sandy.
Sandy and I have had a professional relationship even before I started my internet business, and her comments on my shipping and care of the plants is partly what convinced me to sell over the internet. I so appreciate her. | | Positive | daylilydaddy morehead, KY (Zone 6a) (4 reviews) September 13, 2008 | Very nice big healthy plants! More then I could ever had expected. Will buy from this company again for sure!! The packing was perfect and not one plant looked like it would need some TLC. Like I have received from big catalog companies. Check this site out. You will not be disappointed. Company representative comment on September 16, 2008:
On Sep 16, 2008 10:51 AM, Siberian Iris Gardens added:This was a dream order. I was asked to provide an assortment of irises. I included some species and water/ bog irises. I don't think too many people are familiar with some of them yet, and it was a chance to show someone how well they will do in the average garden border.
I truly had tons of fun filling this order.
Thank you so much. | | Positive | mittsy Space Coast, FL (Zone 11) (1 review) August 27, 2008 | Very healthy plants of a generous size. I am very pleased with all my plants. I plan on dealing with this company again. I would encourage anyone looking for irises to contact this company. Company representative comment on August 28, 2008:
On Aug 28, 2008 1:11 PM, Siberian Iris Gardens added:I appreciate the feedback, and will love to have your return business. |
