Daffodil bulbs

Can anyone help with some advice on what to do with my daf bulbs in pots?. They're just finishing flowering and when they've died back, I want to reuse the pots for summer. How do I store the bulbs?

 

Why not put them in the ground? They do pretty well that way naturally! Don't cut off the leaves, though -let them die back naturally, as all the time they're going, they are feeding the bulb so they are likely to flower next year. When they're finished doing that, they'll pull out easily.

 

Thanks but unfortunately my garden is tiny hence the pots. I was hoping to plant them back in pots after the summer pots die down

 

About six weeks after flowering when the leaves start to go yellow you can remove the bulbs from the pots. Do not cut off the leaves, but allow them to dry off. Once dry, then you can clean up the bulbs and store in a cool, dark, dry, rodent free place until autumn. It is probalby worth giving the pots a good feed of something like MiracleGrow now to help build up the bulbs.

 

Excellent - many thanks. My neighbour told me to hang them like onions but that didn't sound right!!
