Hi,

We have moved to a house with a very nice garden. I am learning quickly
but
no gardening expert so I need help please.

We have lots of Iris' which were flowering very nicely until about 1 week
ago now the flowers are fading rapidly but also about half of the long
green
thin leaves that are left have started to sag over. Some are falling
onto,
and covering, other plants. Do I cut them back or do I dig the sagging
ones
up? Also are they supposed to do this?


Thanks in advance,
Paul



Iris are from a bulb and are meant to stop flowering and die off about this
time, it should be safe enough to cut them off if the flowers have faded,
and they will come back next year again.
