If you want them to self seed around the garden - leave the flowerhead on the plants. If they are coloured the resulting seedlings will not be as dark as the parents.
If you want to cut them off - remove the flower stalks right at the base. The foliage on Primula Denticulata can get rather large during the summer but will die back completely in winter.
I find that growing them behind something that will hide them in summer works just fine. I use Lady's Mantle - still dormant when Primulas are flowering and tall enough to hide the scruffy, often slug devoured foliage.
Choose a plant that grows suitable in the spot you grow them.

These plants have finished flowering and look rather bedraggled now. Should I now cut off the dead heads or the complete flower stalks?
