10956Q.Planting bulbs
I received potted daffodils and tulips as gifts. I cut the blooms when finished and left the greenery. When and how do I plant them in the ground Also 2 of my older lilacs did not bloom at all this year. How can I get them to bloom next year.

Certified ExpertA.You can cut your lilac back to promote flowers for next year. You can cut off up to a third of it.
As for the bulbs, get them out of the pot and soil, allow them to dry out. Keep them stored in a dark, cool, dry location until autumn, then plant them in the garden.

84057 Utah valleyQ.Daffodil Question
This was my first year growing daffodils..They were lovely. My daffodils have now all lost their yellow blossoms. The stalks have round a round growth near the top. The leaves are still lovely green. What do I do next? someone once told me not to cut the stalks or leaves until they have turned brown. I want them to grow again next year without me having to dig them up and store. Help please?

Certified ExpertA.You should cut off the round seed heads that are forming in place of the flowers but that is all you should cut off. I have companion plants that grow around my daffodils to hide the stalks and leaves as they die back. These articles will help

May 11, 2017A.Allow the leaves to die back naturally, this feeds the bulbs so they can store energy to bloom again next season.

May 19, 2017A.Almost all flower bulbs need to be replanted every year. At the end of each growing season, dig up the bulb, place in a cool dry place to dry out. Store for winter; replant in the spring

Durban,KZN, South AfricaQ.Watering tête-à-tête daffodils
I have been given potted tête-à-tête daffodils and wish to make a success of taking care of them! The instructions that came with the plants say water , 30 mls ,every 3 days. Is this enough water? The soil seems still too dry with this amount of water. Unfortunately, the pot of daffodils fits tightly within a ceramic pot ( without drainage holes)and cannot be taken out. Please help. Thank you.

Certified ExpertA.You should probably transplant them. It does not sound like they are able to get adequate water in their present circumstances. The soil should be saturated when watered, then allowed to drain and dry out before the next watering. Growing plants in a pot without drainage holes is not good. This article may help:
