Iris foetidissima

Opinions appreciated. The only saving grace of this #stinkingiris is the colour of the #berries at this time of year. It #selfseeds too easily and is threatening to take over. Not sure of my next action with them.

@richard.spicer.7906 May be able to help? 🤷‍♀️😁

Above advice from @cyndi is good. At the end of the day, you’ll need to make a decision how keen you are on those berries as that’s what’s helping it spread. Maybe compromise and remove half the pods? That way you still see some, but reduces its chance of spreading a bit and then clear some of the existing growth too if it’s too much.

Thank you @cyndi @richard.spicer.7906 removing the #berries goes against encouraging #wildlife into the garden but the truth is I have never seen a single bird near them. The plant itself is a bit of a #bully so I will soon have a big heap available for collection from #Carlisle 😂😂

Thanks again @cyndi - #wildlifefriendly is the way to go!
