How to Grow and Care for Oh Wow Dwarf Iris:
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Plant bulbs 3-4 inches deep and space them about 4-6 inches apart to provide room for the plants to grow and spread.
- Watering: Water the Oh Wow Dwarf Iris regularly, especially during dry spells, but ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging. The iris prefers moist soil, but avoid overwatering.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote strong growth and encourage vibrant blooms. Be careful not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to weak plants.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to maintain a tidy garden and encourage further blooming. Once the foliage begins to die back in late spring, trim it to about 3-4 inches above the ground.
- Winter Care: In colder climates, mulch around the base of the plant to protect the bulbs from freezing temperatures and ensure the iris blooms again the following season.
