After The Bloom

What do you do with bulbs after flowering? Speaking of flowers in containers, of course, like tulips and daffodils.

“After the daffodils flower, we lift the soil and plants out of the pots, which is quite easy to do because the roots hold it all together.”

This is in case you want to use the pots for new plantings; otherwise, you can leave the pots untouched.

“The daffodil stems and leaves need time to wither completely. When the stems let go of the soil with a gentle tug, you can pull out the bulbs and leave them sitting out to dry for the summer. In autumn they are planted again.”

You can do the same with tulips.
