Bell flower looking lank

Hi everyone! As you can see from the photo, the leaves on my bell flower are looking a bit lank, messy and sorry for themselves. Is there anything I can do?

They look OK to me. The grape hyacinth leaves and flowers are dying back and look a bit ratty but that's just what happens with bulbs. The campanula is just fine though.

Thanks! Now it’s dying back, do I need to do anything to the flowers and/or leaves or should I just let it be? (Sorry - total novice here!)

Take the old flowers off so the energy goes into the bulb rather than into making seeds, and leave the leaves as they are until they have completely died and turned brown, then you can remove them.

Great - thank you so much!
