I made an online purchase last summer and was very excited to receive my rhizomes. I decided to follow the recommendation and plant them in fall. Out of he handful purchases 1 iris was produced. This is very disappointing as I have been gifted rhizomes in the past which have taken off like weeds here in Oregon. These starts were not inexpensive and overall I am super bummed.

This place is the top seller of iris in the nation. Been around for 95 years. It's an absolutely beautiful garden and you must see it in person to really appreciate the beauty.

Great place, but was not in full bloom yet. Last year (2021) came here at Memorial day weekend and most irises were part bloom. This year came 2 weeks earlier, but because of colder spring the bloom is late. If somebody want to go - next week should be perfect

This Garden, is the most exquisite Iris garden, that I have ever been to. It isn't just Iris either. I took far too many photos to post, in this review & it was hard not to take even more. At times, I just sat in awe, on one of the benches & listened to all the Songbirds. There were more variations, colors, types, sizes & shapes of flowers, plants, bushes, Iris & trees in this Garden, then could be fully experienced, in the time alloted to us, on our tickets. This is a magical place, that must be witnessed by all folks, regardless of age!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Go to their website and I believe you can request a physical catalog. Also you can look at their online catalog on their website. Iris are beautiful.

What fertilizer SHOULD I use?

Patricia Beck | Aug 17, 2020
Schreiner's Iris Gardens | Aug 17, 2020

Hello. We recommend a low-Nitrogen fertilizer, for example a 6-10-10 (where the numbers represent the nutrients: Nitrogen-Phosphate-Soluble Potash). Bone meal and Super Phosphate are also good options for fertilizing. We recommend a light application of fertilizer about the time that tulips are blooming in your area (which is approx. 1 month prior to the start of iris bloom season). We carry a 1-pound bag of specially-formulated iris fertilizer on our website. Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Dora Hermann | Aug 18, 2019

There's an entrance fee of $5 at the gate. That gives you access to everything (gardens, flower show, gift shop, plant sale, etc.) other than individual vendors.

What will be the cost of cut blooms this year?

Mary Wiens | Aug 18, 2019
Schreiner's Iris Gardens | Aug 18, 2019

One dozen iris stems will be $8 this year during our open house on the farm May 10-May 31.

Is there a type of iris that does best on the Oregon Coast? I live in Astoria. I have pretty well drained doil but we get quite a lot of rain.

Kenneth Barnhart | Aug 18, 2019
Schreiner's Iris Gardens | Aug 18, 2019

Hello. Many of our coastal customers have great success with their bearded iris. They do stake the stems of the tall varieties, however, due to the windy conditions. So long as the soil drains well and has a fairly neutral pH, and the bed receives at least six hours of direct sun per day (in other words, not a shady area), any type of bearded or beardless iris will do well.

The display gardens are open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The city of Keizer, Oregon has their annual Keizer Iris Festival always on the 3rd weekend in May (festivities begin on the Thursday of that week). Check with the Keizer Chamber of Commerce for more details on the official Iris Festival. Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

how long will the irish rhizomes we got from you last in the shipping boxes? The boxes are open but planted.

Marc James | Aug 18, 2019
Schreiner's Iris Gardens | Aug 18, 2019

The rhizomes should be removed from all packing material and placed in a cool, dry location. Ideally they should be planted a minimum of six weeks prior to the first hard frost in your area in order to become established before winter.

Will fish (liquid) fertilizer in the watering can hurt my iris?

Chen Hali | Aug 18, 2018
Schreiner's Iris Gardens | Aug 18, 2018

Yes, when used per the manufacturer's instructions, liquid fish fertilizer can be safe for Iris.

How is the bloom going? My iris are just starting to bloom, altho many more are showing color. Would this weekend (19th) be good to see most in bloom?

penny vance | Aug 18, 2018
Schreiner's Iris Gardens | Aug 18, 2018

The bloom is coming along very nicely. We anticipate this week and into next week will be peak, with plenty of blooms left for Memorial Day Weekend. Naturally, it all depends on Mother Nature!

After my reblooming iris have finished blooming in the spring do I cut off the stalks or just pinch the faded blooms?

Debbie Davenport | Aug 18, 2018
Schreiner's Iris Gardens | Aug 18, 2018

We recommend cutting off the spring bloom stalk at the base. Apply low-nitrogen fertilizer about one month after spring bloom has finished. Water deeply once every 10 days to 2 weeks if you have no rain.

can I fly my drone after you close after 6

Mike Jeffries | Aug 18, 2018
Schreiner's Iris Gardens | Aug 18, 2018

My purple and blue irises are just coming up and the blooms look really washed out. what do I need to do to make them look bright again ???

johanna Vanderweg | Aug 18, 2018
Schreiner's Iris Gardens | Aug 18, 2018

We recommend fertilizing. Apply a low-Nitrogen fertilizer about one month prior to bloom (about the time the tulips are blooming in your neighborhood) and about one month after bloom. You might also wish to have the pH level of your soil checked. Iris like a pH level of 6.8 (slightly acidic).
