I take care of my grandparents's grave, where we have a yellow rose, daffodils, cyclamen [both autumn and spring flowering], and various other bulbs. Generally in May I tidy up, remove the daffodil leaves, and put in bedding plants. As long as the daffodils have had a couple of months with their leaves on, they should be fine, and as long as they are planted in clumps so that you can insert bedding between them, you should have no problems.
