What do i do with my daffodils in my garden now that they are dying off?

You can either leave them in-situ until the leaves yellow, then it's OK to cut them off to tidy them up. Or you could lift the bulbs (without damaging the leaves) and 'heel them in' somewhere out of the way ready to replant at the end of the year. Daffs are quite untidy as they die down so if you have a small garden you might want to move them out of sight. I keep mine in large pots and then sink the pots directly into the border in October and take them out again when I plant up the summer bedding and need the space. I line up the pots around the side of the house out of the way, give them a feed and leave them to it. Good luck :-)

cut them off really close to the ground then leave them
Reply:Leave them alone. They will multiply and then next spring, even more will bloom.
Reply:trim the daffodils at the bottom close to ground leave them, they will sleep, next spring they will grow again
Reply:You cut back daffodil leaves after they've bloomed and the leaves have yellowed and withered. Leaving the leaves on this long allows the bulbs to collect nourishment for next years blooms.
Reply:Leave them where they are even though they do not look very attractive when the leaves are dying off. You can always fold the leaves over and put a tie around them. The bulbs should multiply for next year.
Reply:dont do anything leave them to dry up let all the goodness back in bulb ok
