This program helps support the activity and function of the Canadian Iris Society (CIS) and its registered affiliates, a further plus is that you get yourself some very nice flowers at the same time too! Rebloomers for 2013. This year we have a limited number of reblooming irises on offer that are specifically noted for reblooming in cooler climatic zones. These irises are marked in the listing with an R= reblooming. Reblooming is a trait that has been identified in these irises. Reblooming is not a guaranteed occurrence as it very much depends on your local climatic conditions which can vary from year to year. These irises listed were selected from those irises with rebloom characteristics but additionally these have a tendency to an earlier rebloom. This is important to us in our more northern climate because if the rebloom cycle starts too late in the season it is often negated by frost. These picks provide you with a better chance at success with rebloomers in our cooler climate. Perhaps try some of these and see how you make out. There are also regular blooming irises available in the sale. The annual CIS Purchase Program will get underway on April 1, 2013. Please take note that the CIS Purchase Program is reserved for current CIS members only. (if not a CIS member; see note below on how you can still participate by joining at the same time as you order) Here is how it works: With this program you choose your special new irises from our 2013 listing, reserve them by prepaying for them now and then at the correct planting time later in the summer we ship them directly to your home. When your order is received the available plants are reserved for you. Order early for the best selection. All the plants are a limited supply and some of these go fast so do not delay! With the help of our iris friends at a major commercial iris garden we have available a selection of iris introductions and they are at great bargain prices compared to what you would normally pay. These will be top quality rhizomes that will be shipped directly to you! The plants on offer are American Iris Society (AIS) registered and named iris cultivars. Each will be clearly labeled and ready to pop into your garden. We will provide you with the info on the expected time of arrival once we have that information, but it will likely be near the end of July. The plants listed will be sold on a first come first served basis to CIS members. Place your order by e-mail, phone or postal mail. If a plant is sold out we will notify you by phone or e-mail so you have a chance to change your order or cancel. Payment must be received before any shipment will be made. The sale opening date: So that everyone has a fair and equal chance to review the listing and obtain the available plants, orders will only be received from April 1, 2013 onwards, the start date of the sale. There is not a fixed end date but as the items are limited in quantity your available selection will be greatly reduced as time progresses. Additionally, by the end of July or early August most transactions should be completed so that your plants have time to become established before cold weather/winter arrives. Shipping Costs: Ontario: 1-10 rhizomes $9.00 | 11-20 rhizomes $14.00 | 21-30 rhizomes $19.00 Please send your order and payment by cheque or money order payable to the Canadian Iris Society. All the 2013 program details, the order form and the iris listing.
