After they are done blooming is usually a good time unless they produce seed that you want. The seed they produce takes energy away from the plant that it could be storing to grow bigger. Pretty much all flowers that have bulbs, corms, rhizomes, etc. can be cut anytime, but just make sure you leave the leaves so the plant can make more food.

You can cut them back when they begin to wither. Another option is to let the flower heads go to seed so you can collect them and dry them ready for next year. Are you aware that if you dead-head it will encourage the plant to produce more flowers. The proguction of flowers is the main objective of all plants, when you dead-head the plant will try to produce more flowers so it can re-produce.

It depend on which variety you are growing, if it is everblooming variety than yes go a head and trim once the flowering season is over.

I cut mine everytime they die I trim them. It makes them produce more. I do this with most my flowers, they produce more like my moss & petunias.
