Hi, I really like this plant. It grows quickly and flowers easily. I keep it growing in a swampy part of my yard where it has several inches of water part of the year--and then is dry off and on for the balance of the year. But, I've also growing it in a regular flower bed, amongst Crinum, or ornamental grasses, or in between evergreen azaleas. It is a good performer, almost evergreen in this area and providing a nice, upright effect up to 3 ft. tall. Additionally, it is vigorous, increasing easily but not running wild like some water-loving irises. I grow a few other blue or blue-lavender native Iris species nearby. I'm not sure what they all are, but one is I. versicolor and another is I. brevicaulis. This year 'Contraband Girl' set seed. Does anyone have experience with this plant and its progeny? I presumed it was self-sterile because it has not set seed before, and this year only 3 pods of seed were produced form the many dozens of flowers. Will the progeny be as easy to care for, as prolific and good looking? Do you suppose it accepted pollen from another species or perhaps has produced seeds via apomixis? I have heard/seen speculation that 'Contraband Girl' is a tetraploid species relative to regular I. virginica but don't know if this is correct.
