Re: Iris pseudacorus

 

Sean,
 You are right, and polite discussion would be a good thing. Climatic limitations are one thing. However, legal restrictions are a totally different issue.Â
 A plant that is illegal for 1/3 of the population of the USA to purchase should no longer be promoted. Also, since some states are banning it for being invasive, more states may follow.

Awards are the domain of AIS, but I was thinking that it might be worthwhile for SIGNA to develop a position on the subject and, if we think something needs to be changed, make recommendations to AIS. I believe SIGNA already decided a few years back to no longer allow pseudacorus seed in the exchange except from named cultivars?

I only have a slight idea what other people's opinions are on this topic, but I think we ought to be able to have a polite discussion about it :) Some of these laws are hard to interpret, but by my count about a quarter of U.S. gardeners can't legally grow pseudacorus.
