Planted on my grandparents grave. Was a little disappointed at first because only the green came up thought that was it and a month later there were beautiful blooms on the grave.

Submitted 3 years ago

By Wolvertina

From Chicago

These did not grow as expected, only about 30 grew out of 125, and i only have yellow and white flowers, I am very disapointed in these bulbs.

Merchant Response

Thank you for taking the time to review the Dutch Iris Beauty Mix. We are terribly sorry to hear of the low growth rate you experienced with this item. It is sold as a random mix of colors, so the exact variety you will receive is not known ahead of time. Our plants are covered under a Lifetime No-Risk Guarantee, so one of our Customer Care agents will be contacting you soon with a positive resolution.

By Muertini

From Lafayette, LA

Of the 25 bulbs I got, only about half came up, and only 2 colors. White and purple. Not much of a variety after all. Not worth the effort in mi opinion. I wish I had more vibrant colors.

Received the replacement

Submitted 4 years ago

By Maggie

From Mesa, Arizona

Ordered this and are all infected . Received the replacement order today and even worse. Infested. Molded. I want to have the refund back. However the lady said will only issue credit for future use. I have placed Order for more than $150+ 2 weeks ago. Please I need to pay for separate shipping cost in the future. Also I discovered my last review was not posted. I'm starting concern about the quality about that.

Merchant Response

Thank you for your review. We were sorry to hear the Dutch Beauty Iris Mix arrived not once but twice with mold on the bulbs. We were happy to see that you were able to receive a refund as requested. Poor customer care is not something our company is known for, your satisfaction is our first and top priority.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Nice experience

Submitted 5 years ago

By anonymous

From Undisclosed

Verified Buyer

I took a risk. Ordered several alliums and iris because they were at a nice price and I wanted the beauty come spring. The risk was a frozen ground! It took a few weeks to come and I was sure I was going to have to plant them all in pots and keep in a cool spot in the basement till spring. But, they arrived and after several days of cool drizzle, the sun came out and the ground was thawed well. Felt great after all were planted because I know they will shine come spring. Bulbs looked great, sent and packed real well. Good buy!
