Wonderful! Planted Saffron for the first time this year and I'm quite green in the garden. Not knowing how to preserve the bulbs after blooms, I sought out info here for help, and help I received! Thank you for schooling me as i push forward more confident about next years blooms~
I’ve done it all ways mentioned and found the best way is to clean dead leaves regularly as part of my weeding plan. Luckily I do it cottage garden style, and the strategic planting around is best for my bulbs. This also allows for visual interest any season. It’s a pretty wild garden and I love it that way. Birds drop seeds and surprises are left behind from neighboring gardens often. Happy gardening! Your video is top notch, well filmed and narrated. Thank you ❤
I trim the brown parts of the spent daffodil foliage as it gradually turns brown. Requires several trips to the planter, but I do it with regular cleanup of dropped leaves and weed-pulling. Tried tulips one year, in pots, but the raccoons dug them up. Have lots of paperwhites all over the property. I dig, separate, and plant them in vacant spots. They are prolific, and some year, I'll have the entire hillside covered. Their blossoms smell nasty, so I don't cut for vases inside the house, but they look great outdoors. Also have muscari that flourished this year with the SoCal rains.
Hello!! I am new to gardening and dived in with no knowledge, the past gardener says that there is multiple layers of flowers for each season, do i have to pay special attention to some steps ? Is there a better explanation video that i could watch and learn from? If so please let me know!!
May I ask what growing zone you are in? Thx for great info! I've always been a tier upper, but that's more work!! If I could do something easier, I will.❤😂
What happens if I cut them back too soon last year and this year very few bloomed. Is there hope for more flowers next year if I leave the green foliage? Or have I ruined my daffodils?
The daffodils should recover and produce blooms again next spring. Be sure to leave the foliage until it withers or browns for the best results. Good luck!
This might be a stupid question, but once bloomed and spent, must I continue watering? Will the foliage still fade regardless? Won't it just continue to grow because of the watering? I have a pot of petit daffodils
@@juliaobelar294 They will not make a new flower this year but the plant should be able to make a new bud for next spring as long as the foliage remains.
I just discovered hyacinths 🪻 and omg I'm in love with these! Bought 2 pots from the grocery store over the last month. The first one has already wilted and I've cut off all flowers and set in the basement. The 2nd one still has smell so I've left the flowers for now. The smell and colors are amazing!

I do tie them up but learning to cut off the spent flower is new. However, it makes perfect sense!!! Going outside NOW!!

This sounds like a spring floral display I would like to see!
Thank you so much for sharing!🌷

There is no need to continue watering, as they will go dormant regardless.
I put some in a pot. Now, do I have to move them to a new spot, or will them bloom again where they are?
As long as the bulbs are hardy enough to survive the winter in your region, they should grow back and bloom again next year in the containers.
Can you cut off each of the leaves once they've turned yellow?
If they have begun to turn yellow and brown, they can be trimmed off.
Can the bulbs be removed and kept in the greenhouse
Yes, the bulbs can be dug up and stored until fall once the foliage has withered.
I leave them in situ and wait for foliage to die down. RHS say not to tie them and bunch over.
going to cut the spent flowers now.
Hi, My tulips has been eaten by deers, are tulips can make a new flower after that or they’re gone until next year? 😢
Did they eat the entire plant or just the bloom stalks?
@@Gardeningknowhow / they ate the flowers buds, but not the leaf.
@@juliaobelar294 They will not make a new flower this year but the plant should be able to make a new bud for next spring as long as the foliage remains.
@@Gardeningknowhow / Oh ok thank you for the feedback, I have others tulips planted in different areas of my house, hopefully they don’t eat them too.
1:03 the first thing you can do is ... I always have dead headed bulbs for healthy plants.
what if i bury them
Once the stalks have browned, they could be buried. I would not bury them when they are still green.

A favorite of ours as well!
