How to Grow and Care for Lucky Dwarf Iris:
- Planting: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil for the best results. Plant bulbs 3-4 inches deep and space them 4-6 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering, as the plant prefers well-drained soil. Water the Lucky Dwarf Iris during dry periods, but ensure the soil dries out slightly between waterings.
- Fertilization: In early spring, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to encourage strong growth and vibrant blooms. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to weak stems and poor flowering.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage further blooming. Once the foliage begins to die back in late spring, trim it back to about 3-4 inches above the ground.
- Winter Care: In colder climates, mulch around the base of the plant to protect it from freezing temperatures and ensure that it blooms again the following season.
