    This is actually more common than most people are aware. There's no need to worry about the green color. These flowers do that as they mature and begin producing seeds. You can cut them off or leave them be. As for the leaves, this could be attributed to the natural dying down of the plant foliage as it produces seeds.

    Yes. You can cut back flowers after they die and prune the withered stems as well.
