Our iris have been blooming for about a week now and have been looking great. Today however we had 90 degree heat. After going out tonight to look at the blooms, most are sagging and look dead. We are not sure what to do! We have graduation coming up this weekend and are worried they will look bad. Should we water them or will they come out of this? Thanks!

Help! Our iris look bad!
An iris flower should last for 3 days. The heat may have pushed it along. I would deadhead the worst ones & hope that the heat also causes the next flower on the stalk to open. If there are 2 flowers in a single 'socket' removing the one which is past its life will give the 2nd flower more room.
You are right iris I will watch mine more closely. An old woman told me that once and I believed. Sorry BEV
Thanks for your suggestions! Our iris have have perked up a lot since the heat has finally cooled down. They will be beautiful at graduation! Can't wait! :)
