Thankyou Shendry I was just checking was not sure as in some gardens around us noticed folk pruning to base.
Thanks for advice.

Apart from the advice given above, every few years you will find the flower power dropping off as the rhizomes get congested. If this happens, dig up the iris imeediately after flowering, discard the old rhizomes and replant the new ones. Foliage should be cut back by about half at this time to prevent wind rock while the roots are re-establishing themselves

They don't get pruned, Scotkat - did you think they should be???? You could cut off the dead flower stems after flowering but that's all,
