Pruning ice follies daffodil — FAQ
When should I prune ice follies daffodil?
Deadhead immediately after flowers fade; remove foliage only when fully yellowed (late spring to early summer). Cut the hollow flower stem at the base. Do not tie, braid, or cut green leaves. Allow foliage to yellow and collapse naturally before clearing.
How often does ice follies daffodil need pruning?
Annually after flowering. Ice Follies, a large-cupped daffodil, needs only deadheading after its white-petalled flowers fade. Remove spent stems promptly to stop energy going into seeds. Leave all the broad, strap-shaped foliage untouched for a minimum of 6 weeks post-bloom until it is fully yellow — this is what keeps bulbs vigorous and flowering year after year.
