Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Daffs
I have no flowers on my daffs this year because I cut the leaves down too soon last year I want too know if they will flower next year if I just leave them and cut them down when they are completly finished.
Answer
Yes, your lovely daffodil flowers will return next year. Unfortunately by cutting back the leaves to early last year the plants went hungry and did not have the energy needed to produce flowers this spring. This season wait to cut the leaves of your daffodils back once they turn brown. Spring will come agin. ; )
