Best Answer: Cut off dead blossoms and dead bloom stalks when the iris has stopped blossoming, but don't cut back the leaves until they begin to turn brown in the fall. The leaves are needed to produce next year's blooms. When you do cut, leave a fan shape about six inches long.
The various types of iris will bloom at different times, and bloom time also depends on environmental conditions. A clump of iris generally bloom three to four weeks after planting. Some varieties will re-bloom four to eight weeks after the initial bloom as well. Iris need 15 to 20 weeks of cold to initiate blooming, according to the University of Rhode Island Landscape Horticulture Program website.
