Yellow flag iris is an invasive ornamental perennial that is a problem in many states and other countries. It will sicken livestock if ingested and is generally avoided by herbivores.

 

Contact with its resins can cause skin irritation in humans.  If pulling or digging yellow flag care should be used to protect the skin as resins in the leaves and rhizomes can cause irritation. Because rhizome fragments can grow to form new plants, all rhizome fragments must be carefully removed.  Seeds germinate and grow well even after being burned

 

Yellow Iris invasive removal
