If you let them produce seed they will stop flowering, so either pick or dead head them regularly.
Personally I pick all the flowers that have all buds fully open every 2-3 days and stick them in vases around the house. Any that have gone over get picked and dropped at the same time. This still leaves quite a bit of colour in the garden from the partly open flowers, and fills the house with perfume (I picked 116 flowers yesterday). After 2 or 3 days the perfume has mostly gone away and they are starting to drop, so they go on the compost and I pick the next lot.
