Snowdrops and Daffodils
Question:
I have a great number of Snowdrops and daffodils growing in my Orchard, when I can I safely mow over them.
Answer:
You need to wait until the foliage of your bulbs dies back. It doesn't have to be totally dead but you have to leave it at least six weeks after flowering. Remove the dead flowers as soon as possible to stop it making seed. It will then use the goodness in the leaves to store everything it needs for next year's flowers.
