Can anyone tell me what to do with irises once they have finished flowering? Should I be cutting the big seeds off down to the ground & what about the leaves.

Flag irises are usually divided when they get too congested. The transplanted flags are usually cropped at an angle 3 or 4 inches above ground to stop windrock and allow the new roots to form!My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order

After flowering I chop them back by half remove all the dead leaves and then they regrow new leaves at an alarming rate. If you want to propergate them do as Snadger suggests.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poetComment
