But just in case someone takes her seriously, I should probably explain that I
wasn't talking about merely rampant growers. "Invasive" means it will kill
everything else and take over the bed if left in place for too many years. This
is the trait that led to the myth that iris "revert". Fortunately, few modern
irisarians have had to cope with truly invasive clones and I'd like to keep it
that way.
