Thanks for the reply, Bill. Just leaving them sounds a good option to me. I've got some bone meal so will use that too.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.





Richard,

Just leave them alone until they turn yellow (or brown). The leaves
help "feed" the bulb for next year's bloom. A little bone meal will
help too.
