Do Daffodils Come Back?

Daffodils, also known by their botanical name narcissus, are easy and reliable spring-flowering bulbs. They multiply quickly and return to bloom again each spring, year after year. ... Yellow is the most common color for daffodils, but the blossoms also come in white, cream, orange and even pink.

Can you leave daffodil bulbs in the ground all year?

Sunny, cheerful daffodils are not only easy to grow, but they also naturalise well. This means, under the right conditions – good drainage and some sun during the day – you can leave the bulbs in the ground and they will bloom year after year, and multiply in numbers.

What do you do with daffodils after they have flowered?

After daffodils bloom in the spring, allow the plants to grow until they die off. Do NOT cut down earlier. They need time after blooming to store energy in the bulbs for next year's bloom. To remove the dead plants, either snip them off at the base, or twist the leaves while pulling lightly.
