But what happens when these sunshine blooms fade?

We talked to Jinny Blom, award-winning landscape designer and RHS Chelsea Flower Show star, and Nigel Dunnett, Professor of Planting Design and Urban Horticulture – to find out exactly what to do once your daffodils have had their moment.

The number one rule: don’t be too hasty with the clippers.

"I like to plant daffodils in places where they can die back naturally," says Jinny. Think long grass or spring borders where other plants will soon grow and cover the fading foliage.

Nigel agrees: "The key thing is not to cut back the leaves until they begin to discolour and die back – usually around six weeks. That time lets the plant push all the good stuff back into the bulb so it’s raring to go again next year."

One (and only) thing you can do is snip off any dead flowers to stop the plant from wasting energy on seed-making.

"Absolutely not. In fact, it’s better if you don’t. The foliage feeds the bulb for the following year," says Jinny. So, unless you want fewer flowers next spring, hands off.

Instead, Nigel recommends playing the long game. He suggests: "Plant other things around the daffodils – their leaves will grow up and hide the dying bits. Or plant your daffodils at the back of beds so they’re less in-your-face when they start to fade."
