Store-bought mixed flower planter - daffodils are done - remove bulb, or just trim back leaves and stems?

I got the flower planter at costco. It had tulips, daffodils and pansies. The daffodils and tulips are done, but the pansies are still blooming. Should I take out the bulbs of the tulips and daffodils or just trim the leaves and stems back to the bulb?

If you don't care about the bulbs blooming again, then you can take out the bulbs or trim the leaves back to the bulb.





But if you want to have the bulbs bloom again in the future, leave them alone while the leaves are still green. While the leaves are green, the bulb is forming the food (from photosynthesis) it will need when it goes dormant next winter so that it can bloom next spring. Once the leaves begin to yellow, then you can cut the leaves back.
Reply:Unfortunately, if you want to continue to have tulips and daffodils, you should not cut back the leaves. The leaves are sucking up the sunshine that is keeping the bulb and healthy and is helping the bulb to make new bulbs. If you cut of the plants source of photosynthesis, you are ending its life. Bulbs can be taken up in the Fall and divided or lef in the ground but should not be taken up now. Trim the stems off tulips and daffodlils or the plant will spend its time making a seed head rather than nurture the bulb.
