My Iris unguicularis is very untidy after flowering. Can I cut the leaves back. If so, when? Thanks !

The winter iris is naturally a bit untidy … this is part of its survical strategy in nature, the withered leaves trapping leaves and other debris as a source of organic material.
Siimply pull away any leaves that separate with a firm tug. Do not cut it back … it looks unnatural.
