As with most bulbs it is best to leave the foliage until it is quite yellow as that is how the plant stores the energy needed for next season. It is also forming next year's flower, so the food made from any green part helps that too. Leave them as long as you can put up with. Under-planting with longer flowering blooms helps distract from the unsightliness. Make sure, though, that the old flower itself is cut off or it will use up energy in making a seed.
