What customers say
Customers are delighted when the Excelsior Dutch Iris performs, frequently praising the vibrant, true to color blooms, especially the striking blues and purples, which create a beautiful early summer display. Reviewers often note the high quality of the stock upon arrival and the ease of planting. However, satisfaction is polarized due to inconsistent performance. A significant number of buyers report issues like low germination or failure to flower, directly impacting the perceived value. While the potential for stunning garden impact is high, success appears heavily dependent on individual growing conditions and inherent bulb risks.
