Crocuses
 
So my crocuses have done their flowering bit and now are jusr long green/white leaves. I'm new to gardening, what do I do with them now?

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.

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.

Richard.
