If you mean individual stems throughout the season then yes, you can trim back daylilies after they flower. Once all the buds on the stem have flowered remove the whole stem, but not the leaves.

Do you cut lilies to the ground in the fall?
No. If you live in a cold climate, only cut the stems down to eight or ten inches in the fall, so that winter-kill will only effect the top portions of the stems, and so that the remaining stems can trap snow, which will insulate the crown of the plant. In a warm climate, cut the plant down to about one third its summer size, and then in the spring trim off any part of the stem that has died.
