Cutting dead blooms of daffadills

When do I cut the daffadill dead blooms off and cut back the folliage?

Doug says that the flower was held up on a stem - slide your hand carefully down the stem as far as you can do without crushing leaves. You cut off this flower stem as close to the ground as you can without cutting off leaves. That's it. That simple.

And you do this when the flowers fade.

The foliage gets cut back and off when it goes yellow.
