My daffodil flowers are all gone now. What is the proper way to remove them? Shall I take just the flowers off or take flower and stalks off?

Certified ExpertA.You can remove both the stem and spent flowers. Leaves the foliage, however, as the plants need this to make energy for next season's blooms.

Certified ExpertA.Actually, daffodils are a good choice for under trees. In the spring, when daffodils are blooming and storing energy, the tree's leaves have not filled in enough to overly shade the flowers. By the time the trees' leaves a filled in, the daffodils are dying back.
If you plant in pots, the only issue you will really have is making sure they get enough water. As their roots will be restricted by the pot, they cannot grow out to find more water and are more reliant on you to make sure they get water.

Some of my daffodils are in full flower and it's June. I've never had this happen before. Any idea why? I'm in Northampton. Thanks.

Certified ExpertA.It has been a cool spring, wet for many parts of the country. If this was the case where you live, the combination of cool temps and decreased sunlight (due to overcast days) may have "tricked" the daffodils into blooming later than usual.

June 12, 2011Q.Reusing Daffodil Bulbs After Forcing
If daffocils are forced in water in the home, what happens to the bulbs after blooming is finished? Can you save them and force them again? I purchased a beautiful glass container with daffodil bulbs blooming and they bloomed until after Easter. I saved the bulbs, but I do not know if they can be used again.
