When and how do you trim the Agapanthas flowers?

0 1
I planted Agapanthas in my brick mailbox area.  They flowered and now are losing the flowers.  The plants appear healthy, but I need to know when to trim the flower stalk and how far down the stalk do I cut, if that is what I am supposed to do.

Some folks like the look of the naked stalks with the seed pods on them, others don't and they cut them off as low as possible.  If you cut them off remove the seed pods where they attach to the stem.  You'll end up with something that looks like a firework gone off.  You can dry these upside down and use them in dried flower arrangements.
