Best Answer

Cut the flowers (and a portion of the stem so the plants look better) right after the flowers have died. You don't want them wasting their energy producing seeds when they should be storing food in their bulbs for next year's growth. Let those leaves produce that storage food until they've turned yellow and began to shrivel. A slight tug will then easily remove the plant from the bulb in the ground.
