The real iris dealers cost less than Breck's and send better iris.

Last year I got Breck's reblooming iris mix, a hosta super sack and some free daffodils. The rhizomes looked okay, but they were not the same ones in the online ad, nor were they itemized by name in the email. I am not sure if any of them bloomed this year. The hosta were a pile of slimy roots in a bag with no greenery sticking out of the bag. I called customer service and was refunded the money with no problem. The daffodils were very nice.

I dunno if any of those hosta roots made a plant. Maybe, but my son put some hosta in the same area, so I don't know. The slimy roots certainly did not make a super sack full of hosta! I was glad their customer service was easy to deal with and I had been refunded.

If you get a really good deal, their daffs are probably fine.
Don't make fear based decisions.
