My hellebore flowers have flopped over onto the ground. Should I cut them off now that they are going to seed?

As the growing season progresses, prune off any damaged leaves to give the plant a more tidy look.
Remove the old flower stems when the start to decline. Cutting them back to the base of the plant.
Remove flower heads before seeds set if you don’t want the plant to self seed.
