I have a recently established pond in which I have put some Iris
Sibericas. During this summer they have produced flowers, but also
copious amounts of roots, some of which are anchoring the plants to the
bottom of the pond, but they have also produced roots which are floating
on the surface of the pond, which is unsightly. What should I do with
the floating roots? Is it OK to trim them or should I learn to live
with them?

=======================
I've done serious root pruning on my water iris's without seeing any visible
harm to them. When I sell them or give them away I root prune them to make
them easier to handle. No one ever complained that they died.
