We thank you for your continued support of Iris Meisters. Due to a very harsh winter in 2024-25, we lost a significant proportion of our plants. We've decided not to sell any rhizomes this year to allow the remaining plants to recover. We hope to be ready for sales in 2026. Thanks for understanding.

We love sharing our passion for irises with others. Over the past 6 years, our hobby of selling rhizomes online has morphed into a demand we never expected. To keep our small business manageable and enjoyable while providing sizable rhizomes, we are changing our business model for 2025.

Beginning in late June (likely June 28), we will host a series of flash sales. Available iris varieties will be determined immediately prior to each sale. Rhizomes will be dug late in each week and available inventory will be posted on our website, IrisMeisters.com, early in the weekend for customers to purchase. Orders will be processed and shipped as they are placed. New varieties will be posted in subsequent weekends and previously-listed varieties will be removed once sold out.

This format allows us to be efficient when digging, eliminates the need for us to estimate quantities in the spring, and provides the customer with the largest rhizomes.

Another announcement will be posted in late June to confirm our first sale date.

Thank you all so very much for your support!

Another productive weekend fulfilling orders. If you have an outstanding order, most customers will receive a tracking number tomorrow night. However, a handful of orders still remain to dig which we anticipate will be sent on August 5.

While we have one more variety to open yet, our iris season culminated yesterday with the Northern Illinois Iris Society's annual show. We were happy to help organize and exhibit at the show. Over 180 entries and 6 arrangements were entered by 13 exhibitors. 🙂

Today was a beautiful day to relax and enjoy the show! We are at peak. The forecast includes 30 mph wind gusts for the next three days with a chance a hail. Let's hope the meteorologists are wrong!
