I'm glad R & R is good for Sib's, I sure will never order Daylilies or bearded irises from them again. Took 5 years for the tiny DL's they sent to bloom, and 3 out of 5 of the beardeds were the wrong cultivar, and so were the replacements! I won't be ordering these from them again, even though they are headquartered in my state.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

For Siberians I would recommend Joe Pye Weeds Garden. If you go through their list you will find great plants for a lower price. they hybridize their own.

This thread was originally created for others to give suggestions but the other thread is where the list has been created as well as additional suggestions added. Since Polly has passed, I have been updating it and will go through this thread to make sure the all have been included.


Ok, so what's your point? I was commenting on my experience with Iris City Gardens. I'm very happy they are already listed on another thread.

Sorry, my mistake, I thought you were agreeing to add them on the list and thought perhaps you had not seen the list. I misread it.

I am not sure I would recommend them either although they have a nice selection. Their plants are too small, and tend to get lost in my garden. I would recommend Ensata Gardens for sibs and other irises (no TB's)

I didn't know that Polly K had died? She sent me some wonderful siberian irises once, and I remember her beautiful garden pictures, if this is the same person I am thinking of.
