Hi Michael — If you’ve had the stems (post blooming) in the garden for at least 6 weeks, you can feel free to cut them back for the year. I just finished cutting the last of mine last week! Mine stayed green pretty long this year too — maybe it was some odd weather or something! Before you cut them back, add some bulb fertilizer if you haven’t yet done so. This way you can “see” where to sprinkle it around before the small stem stubs die off. I hope this helps!

Last year was my first year with a heavy daffodil planting. The stems never yellowed but the tips browned. They were green all winter. This spring after blooming I cut off the flower stem and the brown tips. Here it is July 1 and the leaves are all green.
Do I dare cut them back?
