Hi Deborah, I think you should be fine to leave them in the ground. They should come back next year.

Hi I’min Sydney australia.
Moved in to a new place in May and the daffs were flowering. A huge clump. In mid July, flowers long dead, I cut the leaves back. I now fear I’ve made a big mistake.
Should I dig the bulbs out of the soil and store them to plant next autumn?

In reply to Lois.

Hi Lois, Removing the seed pod helps direct energy back into the bulb to produce next year’s leaves and flowers. That being said, if you forgot, you’ll likely still get a nice showing the following year.

Hi Linda, It sounds like you’re referring to the seed heads. You can snip those off because it will help direct energy back to the bulb.

I’m seeing some poison ivy in among my daffodils. This is the first time I’ve seen it in my yard, it’s in another area as well. How can I get rid of the poison ivy without cutting back the daffodil foliage? It usually stays green into July. Thanks!

My daffodils have green bulbs at the ends, flowers are gone. Do I cut them off or not? Someone told me they have gone to seed. What does that mean?

What happens if you leave the seed pod on? How do you use the pod ?

In reply to Karen.

Hi Karen, I would just transplant them, leaves and all. You could remove any dead leaves before replanting, but only if they come away with a gentle tug.

In reply to Judy.

Hi Judy, I don’t usually water any of my bulbs and they all come back each year.
