I broke the rules and cut my irises back to about 9 to 12 inches right after
they bloomed. Had to do this to make room for the daylilies that were
getting ready to start.

The tips of my Iris are turning brown, I am in zone 7. Is it too early to
cut them back? I would like to get a head start on thinning out the bed.
