How slow to increase can a seedling be and still be acceptible?  Slower
growth and increase here <sometimes> goes with tougher plants with less
disease and freeze damage susceptibility.

For example, one of the seedlings I sent to iris heaven (California
national convention)  produced about 50 rhizomes from 3 plants (assuming
no mixups).  I think that was 3 years of increase.

In my garden, it probably only doubles each year.  Is that an acceptible
rate of increase for something that is healthy in our climate?
