The proper FAQ is coming soon — but you don't have to wait for it. Holly's AI garden helper knows the whole catalog and twenty years of growing advice, and she's happy to answer right now.
When do orders ship?
Rhizomes ship June through October. Pre-orders open January 1 and ship in that same window.
What does shipping cost?
A flat $17 anywhere in the Lower 48, no matter how many rhizomes are in the box.
My rhizome arrived looking dry — is it dead?
Not at all. Dry and dormant is exactly how iris travel. Plant it shallow with the top of the rhizome at the soil surface, water once, and be patient — it knows what to do.
