Deadhead Your Daffodils: 3 Reasons Why

Deadheading daffodils is not the same as cutting them all the way back after blooming. Deadheading is simply removing the dying flowers and developing seedpods. In this video, I'll explain the 3 reasons why you need to deadhead your daffodils, and show you how easy it is to do. It's very relaxing!

Hi Laura. I finally planted some beautiful yellow daffodils in my yard so this was super helpful to know. I’ll look for the other video regarding the leaves. What will I do without your channel?!! TY!

My first year growing daffodils. Pretty successful. However, before watching your video, I got the idea I should cut the bloom stems way back rather than just deadheading. Have I harmed next year's blooms? I didn't touch the leaves.

I bought a house last May when the daffodils had died back. I noticed when I tried to plant things that there was not much room between the bulbs. In March the daffodils came out and there are about 1000 so it's going to take ages to dead head them all. It will be worth it though as the display is stunning and this year as it has been so cold the flowers have lasted a long time.

Thank you! I have never seen the seed pods! I always have cut the spent blooms off at the bottom of the stem! Oops! This is why I need your videos! I always thought the leaves gave energy to the bulb, and the stem it flowered on wasn't needed!

Hi! Great video, here's a silly question, where do you put the seed pods and deadheads? do you leave them to fertilize? or just trash them?

They look pregnant!!!! lolz Some think letting the seed pod mature and saving the seed is a good idea but don't realize how long it will take to even get flowering plants out of said seed pods!
