My sunflowers have finnished blooming, i have read that i must cut the stems at ground level.?

Question

I have now done this. But my question is why?. Will they grow again next year.

Answer 1

Cut the stem below the lowest leaf. The balance of the stalk can absorb sunlight and grow healthier. But, I think I'm a little late to save them.
