Siberian iris

My iris have flowered and really need dividing as they have a completely empty centre. Can I lift and divide now or should I wait until autumn. How far back do you trim the spent flower that has turned into a seed pod please?

    I wouldn't lift them now as it's too hot and dry, probably better to wait until we've had  good drenching. I just cut the whole flower stems down when they've finished.
