I find that most interesting. I. prismatica 'Polly Spout' came to me as
a small plant in a 4" pot and it had grown to the sides of the
container. When I moved it early last spring, the rhisome looked more
like an invasive sedge than an iris. It continues to happily move about
the garden.
In addition, 'Polly Spout' hasn't gotten over 2' tall.
