i've been told yes, and no, but do you cut back the iris leaves, and if so, when?
i intend on putting down a good layer of mulch if i do this.

thanks!

Queen-
I've read many times not to cut back iris, just let them die back when it freezes. Puts a kink in things to do in the flower bed, tho. Some tie them over w/twine but I read that you shouldn't do that either.
