Regarding pseudacorus, maybe it is winter, as suggested, that keeps
it in check. Here in our region most of the irisarians I know grow
one or more types, and nobody complains of invasiveness, nor have I
seen it as such in their gardens. I just planted 3 different
cultivars in the garden this summer, in fact. As for loosestrife, or
Lythrum, I have had a plant in my garden for years, and it has never
been a problem. It does shed seeds, but they either don't grow or
are easily hoed out.
