Default Daffodils in the lawn

When would it be appropriate to mow the lawn which has daffs in it ?

TIA

When they die down and go yellow, brown and shrivelled. Not for a
while yet. Sorry. Daffodils are not good bulbs to naturalise in
lawns, though they are OK in coarse grass.

Thanks,

I guess 'lawn' is a little bit vague, its more like a meadow.

6 weeks after last flower goes over. As Nick says by that time you've got fairly rough grass. Other earlier bulbs are
better if you want half way decent grass.

Or simply mow around them... Thats what I do and will be doing fairly
soon as it looks like the mower and strimmer will be getting their
first outing of the year this weekend.
