Hello everyone,

I am new to iris gardening and have a question. I have a group of bearded iris that is on it's third summer. I bought them at a nursery and planted them and left them. The next year, after they bloomed I did nothing. This year, after they bloomed and the flowers died, I cut off the stalk. Should I be doing something with the leaves? I'll try to post a picture of the bloomin' iris for reference.

Thank you for your help.
