Oh, my! How lovely! I'd risk it being invasive! Although, not much is invasive here, except the thistles. Sigh. And the cheat grass. Sigh again.
Oh, my silly neighbors have seen my pretty flowers.....and they still say "Don't let them near my place!" If they knew the hoops I have to jump through to get those things to grow........ Of course, the I. purpureas will drop seeds everywhere, and I do get a few volunteers, but that's only because I don't have the heart to yank them out.
