It is not necessary to cut back the daffodil leaves. When they become brown they will detach from the bulb and become leaf litter for the earthworms and other decomposers to utilize. However some gardeners want to use the space for other plants, and thus will want the leaves gone.
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 at ground level.
