We can see how that would be confusing! We will clarify the directions above.
After irises have finished blooming for the season, DONOT trim the foliage, as the plant needs to gather energy for next year’s bloom. At the end of the season, when frost is imminent, foliage will usually die back on its own, but you can also trim it back yourself to help prevent diseases and pests.
When replanting irises, it’s a good idea to trim down their leaves so that they can focus on putting out new roots and getting themselves established.
