It is neccessary to cut back foliage when MOVING iris plants because
digging them up damages or destroys a good deal of the rootage. The
foliage must be cut back to balance the water loss, or the plant will have
a hard time recovering from the move. This doesn't have anything to do
with cutting back the foliage on plants that remain in place in the garden.
