We planted a bed with "wildflower" seeds. I'm not sure what to do with the plants once the flowers are spent?

The poppies reached a height of about 4 feet and are now dropping all the petals and leaving what I expect is a seed pod as they fall over. Should I be cutting them back, pulling them, or something else?
