What to do with daffodils after flowering to ensure even bigger and brighter blooms next year

Window box filled with plants.

With their sunny yellow flowers, daffodils will brighten up any spring garden - even when April showers are in full force. And while they can bloom anytime between January and May, dead flower heads eventually replace these beautiful blooms. So, what do you do with daffodils after flowering?

No matter your garden idea, daffodils are a low-maintenance spring flower that will bloom year after year with very little interference. Perfect for container gardens or garden borders, daffodils are early bloomers that will flower for around 6-8 weeks before they start to fade. But when the flowers are spent, and the yellow blooms have disappeared from your garden, they can look extremely messy.
