My bearded irises are just finishing flowering. Just wondering if I should cut the flowered stems down now?I haven't in the past but not sure if it's right to leave them or not.

Thanks, Derek. I suppose it's obvious really but sometimes I miss the obvious!!

it also makes the foliage look neater as the seed pods are a bit untidy.

Hj Tuesdaybear, unless you want them to produce seed, I would cut them off, there's no point letting the plant put all its energy into producing seed, if you're not going to use it, Derek.
