My daffodils have bloomed and now the blooms have died - now what?

I'm new to gardening and I had great success planting bulbs. The daffodils came up amazingly well and - as I said - they have now bloomed and the flowers have died. So what do I do with the remaining plant? I want them to come back next year. Do I cut it back? If so, how much? I have no clue - please let me know if you do.

Let the leaves die off. The bulbs need to take their nutrition for next year from the stems. When they have turned brown or yellow you can dig them up to store for next year. Some of the bulbs will be double bulbs, you split these ones in two so you will have two bulbs for next year. Spread out so that they completely dry before you store them to plant again in the fall.
Reply:Pinch off just the spent blooms. Do not trim the plant. I want to repeat this so you will not mess up. Pick off just the spent flowers at the point where the flower meets the stem.
Reply:You can cut them all the way down to the ground line, or fold the leaves/stem in half and tie them together.
Reply:DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT PERSON, THAT WILL KILL THE BULBS!!!



Why do people do that to someone asking for advice? Sheesh.



Let the green die off. The bulb needs the photosynthesis to survive. All bulbs, corms, etc. need this.



When it is brown, you can remove it.



After 5-7 years you will need to dig them up and separate them or they won't bloom.
Reply:And just in case there's any question, do not cut it back. You can dead head them (remove just the dead bloom), and leave the greenery be. They will come back next year. As already stated, you will eventually need to dig them up, separate them, and plant them again. Don't dig them up until after they have bloomed for the season.
Reply:I live in Arkansas where daffodils grow wild EVERYWHERE.. even in places i never planted them. I cut the stem of the flowers off and do nothing to the rest. Believe me, they will keep coming back year after year after year..... I dug some wild daffodils up last year and transplanted them to the from on my house. They all wilted and died.. I thought I had killed them. NOPE, at the very end of winter, here they were, in all their glory, coming back up and putting off lots of beautiful flowers. Good Luck!
