Perhaps I should have said one answer to the daffodil foliage die back problem since I am sure that there are many others, but I had not come across this suggestion before. Once daffodils have finished blooming their leaves need to be allowed to die back naturally to build up the bulb for the following season. Unfortunately the leaves rather spoil the look of the flower bed during this time so the suggestion below is to grow another plant along side to hide the decaying foliage. This idea comes from an article by Kathleen LaLiberte which I found on the Longfield Gardens blog.

Daffodils blooming means spring has arrived?and warmer days are ahead! I love seeing their bright yellow, orange and white blossoms popping up all over my garden and landscape. Unfortunately,?daffodil foliage that hangs around too long is not what I wanted to see in my garden, so I needed a solution!
A couple of years ago I planted daffodils in between my hostas, along my walkway?in the hopes that the hostas?would hide the dead daffodil foliage. It?s important to let the daffodil foliage die back naturally because the bulb needs to build up food reserves to multiply and build up more flowers for the following year. Unfortunately, I don?t like the way that looks in my garden.
