You don't have to, but you can if you want, if the foliage has died right back. You can either leave them in the pots, in which case you should have watered and fed them as they finished flowering, or you can put them in the ground.

If they've died back Ian, just cut them off to make them look neater. Don't need to do anything else....I leave a few inches sticking up so I know where they are......when they start to emerge again in the spring you need to watch out for slugs.....
