When To Trim Back Spring & Summer Bulb Leaves
Spring and Summer bulbs are a wonderful item to add to your garden, coming back year after year and naturalizing to add even more blooms to your garden. When flowering bulbs finish their bloom you can deadhead or trim back the flower once it has wilted, but do not cut down the leaves of the bulb. The leaves of the bulb help provide nutrients and energy needed for next year’s bloom. Tie back the leaves if needed or plant other flowers surrounding the bulbs that will help hide the bulb leaves until they wilt back naturally. Once the leaves die back naturally you can trim off the leaves of the bulb.
