Managing Invasive Yellow Flag Iris and Growing Bean Sprouts

Yellow Flag Iris Is Invasive

Iris pseudacorus (yellow flag iris) is invasive in US ponds, especially in the Northeast. The Species Iris Group of North America (SIGNA) no longer trades its seeds.

Action Required

Remove and destroy seed pods to prevent spread. The plant itself can stay, but deadhead faithfully.

Bean Sprouts

Grow edible sprouts indoors, not in the pond. Search online for many methods.
