The usual reasons are overcrowding and under-feeding. After flowering, lift and divide the clumps to give them more room, apply tomato fertiliser, then allow the bulbs to die down naturally. Removing the leaves stops food being taken back into the bulb, which weakens it.

Daffodils, also known as Narcissus, are a genus of spring-blooming bulbs native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia. They are easy to grow and come in a wide range of colours, from white and yellow to pink and orange. Daffodils prefer full sun and well-draining soil, and they are an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add some colour to their gardens in the early spring.
Daffodils are perennial plants that grow from bulbs. They typically range in height from 6 to 24 inches and produce long, narrow leaves and a single stem that supports one or more flowers. Daffodil flowers have a distinctive trumpet-shaped center surrounded by six petals that are often in a contrasting colour. They bloom in early spring and can last for several weeks, making them a popular choice for cut flowers and floral arrangements.
Daffodils prefer full sun and well-draining soil that is not too wet. They are typically planted in the fall and require a period of cold weather to stimulate growth. Daffodils can be planted in borders, beds, or containers and should be fertilised periodically during the growing season. After flowering, the foliage should be allowed to die back naturally before being removed.
Daffodils are primarily grown for their ornamental value, as they are prized for their colourful, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in early spring. They are often planted in groups or massed together to create a bold display of colour. Daffodils are also popular as cut flowers and are widely used in floral arrangements and bouquets.
Daffodils are a versatile and easy-to-grow plant that provides a burst of colour in the early spring. With their distinctive trumpet-shaped flowers and long blooming period, they are a popular choice for gardeners and florists alike.
