should the foliage be cut down after flowering?

I would remove the flower stalks ...and leave the leaves to replenish and strengthen the plant to overwinter...

Let the whole thing wither then cut down.It is an idea to plant taller things around it ,to flower while the dicentra goes through it's manky looking stage.
