What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the initial quality and beauty of the 'Best Bet' iris, noting White Flower Farm delivers robust, healthy rhizomes that produce stunning, true-to-color violet-blue spring blooms. This initial performance validates the premium price. The core focus remains on the reblooming feature, which shows variability. Many successful gardeners report a rewarding fall rebloom, calling the plant a spectacular investment. However, some customers experience disappointment when the anticipated second flush fails to appear, often citing climate or cultural factors. Despite this inconsistency, the consensus is that this is a high-quality, vigorous iris that excels during its primary season.
