Iris Problem

 Hi

After flowering the leaves on my Iris have started to go yellow and brown.
Is this normal if not what should I do to save the plant?

thanks

It is normal to some extent but with this drought and heat they are
suffering more than usual this year. It's also the time to split them up and
replant the newer younger growths, but if you do then they will need water
until the weather breaks.

 How old is the plant?  Has it received plenty of water?  Do you get any
insects there that eat the roots of plants?

Iris are pretty hardy in most weather conditions, but after 3 or 4 years
they need to be divided or they will eventually die back.  After 3 years I
take my place a shovel blade in the center of the iris plant and cut
straight down.  Then I dig on the other side of one half of the plant and do
it again.  That way I can dig up 1/2 of the plant and replant or give away
the other half.  When I dig up the entire plant, divide it and replant, it
usually takes two years for them to bloom.   This way, it will usually bloom
the next year.  I also do this right after the blooming stops.
