You can remove the dead flowers, but if the leaves are removed, the bulb’s precious food supply is damaged.

What do you do with daffodils when they finish flowering?

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.

Can daffodil bulbs be dug up and stored?

Digging and Storing Daffodil Bulbs Don’t rush; the green foliage absorbs sunlight, which provides energy that the bulbs will use later to create new blooms.
