Sorry - I should have said what they are! They're a creamy-yellow flowered Leucanthemum (Shasta Daisy).
Very pretty too. :-)) Yes, I google things all the time...very useful! lol.

I have this plant Leucanthemum 'Broadway lights' and I cut mine back last week to about 3" as it has not been such a good year for it. Its about 4 years old so I will divide it this year.

Previous question
Look at the base of the plant, and if you can see new growth, then it's fine to cut the stems back right to the bottom when they look 'tatty' and start going brown. I've cut back one of my plants so far. The other one still has a couple of flowers.
