Cutting the stems low will help to maximize the bulb's energy and ensure proper rejuvenation for the next year's growth. 5. Remove foliage: As you harvest the flowers, also remove any dying or yellowing foliage from the base of the plant. This will help redirect energy back into the bulb for next year's growth. 6. Care for harvested flowers: Immediately place the cut flowers in a bucket or container filled with water to keep them hydrated and prevent wilting. Keep them in a cool and shaded area until you're ready to arrange them or use them for any purpose. Remember, daffodils should not be consumed as they are toxic if ingested. Additionally, it's important to leave some flowers on the plant to allow the bulbs to gather energy for their growth the following year.
