    Hi Chris

    I'm so frustrated I can't remember what its called. I've looked up Iris and can say from my findings, its not an Iris, thanks though

    Is it a type of calamus ? Or carex

    Could it be Hemerocallis (day lily?).  I'd go also with thinning it rather than trimming.

    Is it Lucifer if so it is just a case of thinning out as others have mentioned,

    Iris foetidissima

    Pretty certain it's a hemerocallis - I would leave it until the leaves have started to die back, then cut it back to the ground. If it hasn't flowered, then it probably needs dividing, which I would do in the spring. If its an iris, then ditto!

    Thank you everyone. Attached are some more pictures from today, I hope this gives a better view of what the plant is.
