Aftercare
Remove faded flower spikes once flowering has finished but allow the foliage to die back naturally. This enables the bulbs to replenish their energy for the following season. Garden-planted bulbs can remain in the ground to flower again in future years, while indoor forced bulbs can be transplanted into the garden after flowering once the risk of frost has passed.
