We ship our plants according to seasonality and in sequence of when we receive orders. In addition to this, different varieties of iris size up to our shipping standards at different rates.  

Bare root Bearded Iris: mid-July through mid-September

• Bare-root Bearded Iris: Ships July-mid-September. Rhizomes will be dug and shipped as soon as they grow to meet our quality and shipping standards. Due to the desire to only send mature rhizomes, giving an exact shipping date is not always possible due to the following factors:

1. A season’s initial harvest date can be advanced or delayed based on the season’s weather.

2. Rhizomes planted in different fields can mature at different rates.

3. Different rhizome varieties can mature at different rates.

4. Inclement weather, such as excess heat, can delay harvest work within the season.

5. Inclement weather can also cause UPS and USPS shipping delays that are out of our control.

While taking all the above into account, we still aim, whenever possible, to ship orders placed in January first and work our way forward from there. 

Once your order ships from our farm you will receive an email with tracking information so you will know exactly when to expect your new plants!

Plant other shipping seasons (weather dependent):

Spring Daylilies: March – June

All other Daylilies: late June – early September

Amaryllis and  Allium: shipping times can be found on those product pages

All of our iris and daylilies are put into a “dig” schedule once we receive your order. For the most part, our orders are hand-dug and shipped in the order that we receive them.  However, we also have to take into account the rhizome size.  Some plants need to remain in the ground longer than others.   Plants will be dug once they have sized up to our shipping standards.   For this reason, quoting exact ship dates is not possible.   When your order ships from our farm via ground carrier it can take 7 to 10 days for delivery.
