Your iris are beautiful. One of my favorite flowers. Ours are done blooming. I only have some lighter purple, an old variety, and some light yellow ones which I am not that fond of. Are your purple ones Siberian iris?
If your iris did not bloom, chances are they need cut back after blooming and need divided. Easy to do. Just Google it and you will get loads of info.

I don't think vinca would outcompete crab grass, though...
