    cutting down iris leaves?

    Would it be alright if I cut my Iris leaves down? The naked lady buds are under them and they are not getting enough sun, also I have some morning glories growing in among the Iris and they need the sun too.

    I trim back my Iris leaves to about 4-6 inches when they start looking ratty ...

    Iris leaves

    This does not look too good, but at least the naked lady buds and the morning glories and the hostas can get some sun, the iris leaves were blocking the sun's rays from getting to the other flowers. Here are the naked ladies now and this is just from yesterday, boy do they grow fast!
