Roundup 'damage' usually disappears fairly quickly, and then
things are back to normal if you refrain from using it in the spring.
I learned a long time ago never to use it in the spring before bloom.
I use Roundup quite often during the summer and fall and see no
color changes or deformities. This is the only herbicide I use.
And, again, if the person got her irises from Wal-Mart, etc., she
may have not planted all of these colors in the first place.
