Iris Mart

CG has a wide variety of iris plants.
Many are gifts from family, some are traded from other gardeners.
It's also enjoyable to find on-line sources, place an order, and have the plants arrive on your doorstep within a week.

3 Spades for Iris Mart
(out of 5 Spades rated on the Can You Dig It Scale)
Iris Mart lists hundreds of different iris on their website, but too many were 'unavailable.' One type that was 'available' and ordered, did not get shipped (card was refunded).
Prices at Iris Mart are reasonable, with a lot of iris costing less than $5.
Shipping costs may seem high, but the order is pulled and packed within 24 hours, and on its way -so a few extra dollars for promptness is copacetic. 

If Iris Mart had 'real time' product availability for their plants, and gave customers a choice between premium and 'low urgency' shipping, it would be CG's preferred on-line source for tall bearded iris.
