Daffodils are easy to grow and require minimal care, but proper care after flowering is essential to ensure healthy blooms the following year. Here are some tips on what to do with daffodils after flowering:

1. Remove the blooms as soon as they fade, but leave the leaves in place until they die down and turn yellow. This takes about six weeks.
2. Do not braid the leaves or bunch them in rubber bands, as this reduces the amount of sunlight available to the leaves. Instead, consider ways to camouflage the leaves, such as planting perennial plants that will hide the dying foliage as they grow in spring.
3. Water daffodils generously while the plant is blooming, but keep the soil relatively dry when the plants are dormant during the summer.
4. If you plan to replant the same bulbs for next spring, leave the bulbs in the ground while they are dormant, and they will come up on their own next year. However, if you water your garden regularly, or get a lot of summer rainfall, your bulbs may rot. In this case, you may want to dig them up and store them until the fall.
5. If you want to move your daffodils to a new location, wait until the foliage dies down and turns yellow, then use a garden fork to carefully lift them out of the ground. Shake off any excess soil, discard any diseased or damaged bulbs, and pack the rest onto trays or cardboard lined with newspaper. Store them in a cool, dry place until the fall.
6. Do not remove the foliage too early, as this can reduce the bulbs ability to store energy for next years bloom cycle. By removing old blooms as they begin to fail, you help power up next years flowers. Instead of wasting energy trying to heal failing flowers, the bulbs save the energy for future use.

By following these tips, you can ensure healthy daffodil blooms year after year.
