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.
Due to a thread here, I ended up at Tempo Two Iris website, and was reading some of the information. It was stated to NOT cut back Iris foliage as this would cause the Iris not to bloom. It was further stated that if the foliage wasn't looking the best, just cut the tips and pull off any dead leaves.
