New to me, they have all come up, but what do I do when they have bloomed for awhile? Do I cut them, and let new ones come up?

I've had these for a few years but they didn't come back this year. They are fascinating plants.

Members' notes...
Planted 2007. Bulbs from Sainsburys.
a stately plant for the wild garden or herbaceous border which is closedly related to Allium. the leaves have a distinct keel along their length, and in late spring the tall leafless stems appear. from the top of these stems the flowers hang down on thin stalks. as the seed pods form the stalks stiffen and turn upwards, so that the seed head has a shuttlecock like appearance.
height 4ft - full sun - any well drained soil - divide mature clumps in autumn when overcrowding becomes a problem.
Bulbs planted for next year suitable for shady garden.

Now called Nectaroscordum siculum, but never mind. They only get the one flower stem per bulb. Either cut them off when they have finished or leave and let them seed themselves around. It does take a while for the big one to reach flowering size from seeds. There is a smaller version, which is an absolute thiug, spreads by seed and tiny bulbs. Smells wonderful though.
