if you are talking about foliage on the ground, yes, it's best to trim off at the base any that flops on the ground, to help prevent disease.

if you are talking about stalks, well, they will topple if they get too heavy with blooms, and you can stake them back up. of if they get knocked about, you'll find you have an oddball stalk still trying to bloom but looping around on the ground like a snake!. I had one, Bad Cad, that got flattened by a sheered off treetop toppling onto that iris bed. it just bloomed anyways.
