Local legislation continues to be passed against Iris pseudacorus across the U.S.A. and Canada in response to its harmful impact in wild natural areas. As of February 2018 it is illegal to buy, sell, or possess in 14 states and provinces. This includes subspecies, variants, named cultivars, and hybrids. 30 other states and provinces officially recognize & designate it as a harmful invasive species, have eradication programs in place, and actively discourage its cultivation. Continued monitoring in these locations may result in it becoming banned there as well. Please take proper care if you live in these regions.

This information was compiled in January and February of 2018. If a state or province is not listed, there is no official legislation or warning against Iris pseudacorus from that government. The web links and legal status will change over time. To get the latest information for a specific location you should do a Google search using key words like: 'Iris pseudacorus Alberta prohibited' or 'Iris pseudacorus Alberta invasive list' or 'Iris pseudacorus Alberta banned'. Most states and provinces also have a list of regulated and banned invasive species which you could Google search.
