About cutting back the fans on Irises, I used to only do it when I was
transplanting them, although I have since been told that I should do it
every year.
It not only reduces the chance of pests and diseases attacking them but
it also lets the rhizomes get as much sun onto them as possible, and the
cold in there to intiate flower production.
So I have been cutting mine back each year and they are all happy, and
tapping thier little feet, so it isn't bad.
