I received a wonderful box of irises from Dee this past month. They were big fat healthy plants with nice root systems, labeled and packaged very well. The service, plants and communication was 5 Stars. No puny little plants here. Thanks D!!!!! I can't wait till next year to order more!

Received my incredible order yesterday. The rhizome size was good for us East Coast growers. Denise included several rhizomes of most of my selections -- for a couple of them she sent FOUR rhizomes. This is my second time to order from Snowpeak and I will definitely order again.

Received my 2006 order and once again was very impressed with the iris and the customer service. It really shows that they care. If you're only going to order from one company, it should be Snowpeak.On July 12th, 2008, NeilTR added the following:

I'm sorry I neglected to post right away! I was so pleased with their Iris rhizomes. When I asked for a substition for an Iris I'd aready own, this was no problem. They also
gave me so many 'nice' bonuses! Not the old ones that I've never heard about. Recommend highly!

The first time I ordered tall bearded iris from Dee was in 2002. This year I purchased 3 spuria and a Siberian for spring delivery. I have always been very pleased with the quality of the plants that she sends, and she really has quite a large selection. She really cares about her customers. Now I am anxiously awaiting my tall bearded order the beginning of July (including one of her introductions). Don't want to forget to mention that she always adds beautiful bonuses. She is really a very nice lady!

Thank you for the great compliament. My customers come first. I have based my company on customer service and will continue to do so.
My order of 13 daylilies arrived yesterday and I am pleased. I ordered double fans, but triples and quads were the norm. Besides the extra fans, I also received three bonuses! It was a very nice transaction and I would do business with them again!

My mom and I both ordered from Denise through the Snowpeak Iris co-op, and we are both thrilled! The iris looked great, very fresh and large rhizomes, and they took off right away after planting. She sent wonderful surprise bonuses, too, both extras of some we'd ordered, and some different varieties that will coordinate great with the colors we ordered. I especially enjoyed corresponding with Denise. She is such a warm-hearted, generous person! Snowpeak will be my #1 source for iris from now on! Thanks for the wonderful experience!

***** (5 stars out of 5). It was wonderful doing business with Denise! A very nice person and very generous with both her time on the phone talking iris and her rhizomes. She has the nicest selection of dwarf beardeds that I've found and when I was going to order 2 rhizomes of some varieties, she told me I didn't have to because she usually sends 2-3 or more rhizomes of the dwarfs. Which she did, often more. And she even talked me out of buying one variety that wasn't one of the better ones. I will absolutely buy from her again.

I am glad you are pleased with both the siberians and bearded iris. Being small I work very hard to do what is right for the customer.
Met Dee Stewart when I scheduled a visit to Snowpeak. A stranger, I got the king's welcome, a personal tour, and lessons! Was very impressed with how clean and tidy her garden was and how well everything was labeled. She personally digs every order, too. And she brings Bianco introductions from Italy to the USA.
She spent several sessions on the phone and emailed me promptly, giving excellent advice, as I agonized over my order. It arrived promptly, accurately, incredibly fresh, with good healthy sizes, some doubles, and so many bonuses I almost dropped my teeth. Many bonuses were ones I'd reluctantly cut from my list. All are doing very well. I'm planning to buy twice as many this year....as soon as I buy more land to plant them on.....

Great selection of wonderfully healthy, vigorous iris rhizomes -- which arrived huge and plump and bursting with life. Prompt, secure shipping. Warm, personable seller with excellent communication. Wish I had more room for more of her iris!

A really great experience with Denise and Snowpeak. We picked up several iris last week -- all of good size and with a truly generous (even by iris company standards) number of bonus iris included. I was delighted to be able to order such a fine selection of iris in the first place -- add fine service, good communication and an evident love of plants to that mix and I consider this a company I will order from again and again.
Very pleased with this company. I ordered 7 iris and received 14 , how can you complain about that? I've ordered from lots of mail order companies and Snowpeak is on top of my list.

Ordered some dwarf iris from Denise. I had to delete one variety from my order, when the total with shipping, got too high for my budget.
When I opened the box, I not only saw very generous amounts of the ones I had ordered, but she even surprised me by including many starts of the variety that I had felt I needed to delete. She made my day!!
They were very healthy, and disease free. They were well-packed, and shipped very quickly.
I am very pleased with my order, and intend to order from her, again. She is very pleasant, friendly, and generous lady.
I went from being worried at first, that I was spending too much for what I was going to get, to opening my box, and feeling like a got a great bargain.

They were nice and healthy too, and at a reasonable price. They have a great selection and I had a hard time stopping at 10, so I just might go back and order again right away.
