It will spread and is hard to get rid of once established. Has it place though.

It's really hot here then but that is the time to plant them. I agree with the philosophy of people & plants maturing at different levels of time & space. But the end result is almost always favorable.<BR/><BR/>Gail, it's good that you have blooms that you haven't seen in yrs.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167298790872032154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-62181527498666533972008-06-03T20:06:00.000-05:002008-06-03T20:06:00.000-05:00Once again...Dr. McEwen...He was the first to intr...Once again...Dr. McEwen...He was the first to introduce yellow in the siberian iris.
