Jim,
Now that you mention it, I did toss the I. pallida variegata into one of the
tubs last year and it's doing fine. I don't know that I would plant new
introductions in pots whose hardiness hasn't been proven yet. But maybe I
can free up some space in the garden and transplant the old favourites.
Thanks for that thought, Jim.
