Best Answer

After the daffodil flowers have faded, the plant needs to restore the nutrients that were used, so it can bloom the next year. The leaves must remain as stay green for this to happen. It takes about 4 weeks. When the leaves begin to turn yellow, you can cut the leaves off.

When do you cut back lupine?

If you cut back the flowering stems of lupins after the flowers have faded you will get a secondary flowering. Any other cutting back should be to the ground in Spring when growth restarts.


Can you plant other flowers above daffodils once they have bloomed for the season or is it best to dig them up?

Leave the daffodils in the ground. You can plant annuals above them, and it won't hurt a thing. However, it is always a good thing to put some mulch down before winter starts, so in the spring things are ready for the daffodils and earthworms to get a good start in the spring.

What is the best time to transplant daffodils?

Normally you leave daffodils in the ground from year to year. If the clump is getting too big, and there are not as many blooms as expected, then the clump will need to be split. You can do this when the plant is flowering, but you shouldn't expect them to bloom the next year. For blooms it is best to wait until the flowers are gone and the leaves are beginning to turn yellow. At that point the leaves have sent all the energy to the bulb that they are going to, you can separate the bulbs and replant.
