I would cut them down because you want the energy to stay in the roots. Then cover with a good, rich compost. I would not fertilize until late summer/fall but consult a gardening website for more information. Gardeners tend to be generous with their experience and knowledge!
Good Luck!

I would contact the extension office in your area & ask about the specific variety that you have planted.
