Lenora,
Your iris foliage will not die back in the same way that tulips and daffodils
do. It will remain green and growing, in most situations, until cold weather
stops it in the fall. This depends on where you live, of course. Many
things can be used as companion plants. I use a mixture of other perennials
which include daylilies, dwarf dahlias and mums. I've recently discovered
coroposis and like these in some places, depending on the situation and
location.
There was an extensive discussion on this subject last year. Access the
archives and search with "companion plants." <A
