Will pay postage in advance. There may be some interbreeding problems with the white and colored irises but I have read from some respected iris experts that it is genetically impossible for an iris to change colors since the increases are exact clones of the parent rhizome. The white pictured is old, rugged and prolific and could take over a small bed in time. |
