    Do you dead head Pacific Coast Iris after blooming or will there be another flower bloom on the same stalk later on?

    I am not too sure, I just want my iris to look nice and keep them blooming.

    any information on these little guys would be wonderful thanks!

    Flowering of these strictly cyclic and once per year. Prompt deadheading might help a less vigorous built up cultivar grow more vigorously. Typical wild seedlings shouldn't need it. Plus, if they go to seed you might get some of these coming up on their own.
