digging up daffodil bulbs

[jamie2]

I've got masses of headless daff leaves. How can I get rid of them permanently? I paid someone to dig them all up last year but more have come up this year. how can I stop them multiplying? If I just cut the leaves of will they eventually die off?

The bulbs will keep flowering year after year. You need to dig up the bulbs unfortunately. If ur going to do it I would do it now as it will obvious where they are. Any reason they're headless?

Thanks Bagitto I've been digging all week so I'm resigned to it. I don't know why they are headless but don't really want the daff flowers anyway as they suffocate out all my other plants. There are masses of them.

Are you sure they are daffodils? Just asking as it's unusual for daffs to spread this much without flowering.

Are they Spanish bluebells?

We have a problem with these in our garden. I dug sacks and sacks worth out last year and it's as if I did nothing

I was thinking Spanish bluebells too.
They do tend to smother everything. .

Although if the OP has allowed them to get to the flowering stage she'd know the difference.

You may be right about bluebells. However there'sno sign of any flowering heads. How can I get rid of them permanently?

Oh yes they could be bluebells. They're a mass of leaves and eventually around now will start to bloom. I'm thinking of digging mine up as they pretty for about 2 mins then die and I have to tie the leaves down...

I think they're a mixture of bluebells and grape hyacinths. Spent hours today trying to lift them. It will probably take a week before Im finished. Checked out various gardening sites and it seems they are nigh on impossible to get rid of, so it looks like this is going to be an annual job
