Can anyone help with a gardening question?

I'm not very good at gardening but I have a potted daffodil plant. The flowers were lovely but are now dying. They are kept on the kitchen windowsill and I water them often. What am i doing wrong? Will they reflower? Help!

Hi yes they will reflower. You might be able to prolong the period of the flowers lasting by placing them in a shadier spot, if you think they usually grow in parks and woodlands where there is plenty of shade don't they.

They come back once a year, they don't flower continuously. My daffs are just now coming up, though others around the village have already bloomed and are dying back now. All bulbs are annuals, so they come back again. Just don't throw them out. Though you could put the pot outside for the summer, won't do them any harm.

they only flower once a year so now you should take them outside and put them in the garden and they will come up next year

Daffodils are bulbs that flower and die back, like crocus and snowdrops. When the leaves die back you can take the bulbs out of the pot, keep them somewhere dry, and plant them somewhere else for next year. Do not keep watering them in the pot, as there will be a tendency for them to rot.

Daffodils only flower once a year. As yours have finished for this year you need to place them outside in the pot they grew in,somewhere open to the weather and let the leaves die off. When the leaves have died back (they will be brown and shrivelled) you can then either remove the bulbs to use again next year but the flowers are unlikely to be as big as this year or keep them to plant outside in the autumn. Alternatively you can plant the contents of the pot outside now and leave them. They will then establish themselves and carry on growing. If you haven't got a garden there is not much you can do to keep them for next year - donate them to a friend who has a garden.
