What do i do with my pot of daffodils now?

[User57713]

I've got a big outdoor pot which has loads of mini daffodils in it. Now the daffodils are dying off, what can I do with the pot? It's a lovely colourful ceramic pot so I don't want to just put it away till next year's daffodil time. Is there anything else I can plant in the pot without disturbing the bulbs for next year? Or should I take the bulbs out and start again next year?

Probably a very basic question, I'm just starting out with taking a proper interest in the garden and I want to learn everything properly.

Thank you

Any bedding plant will be fine. It will flower over summer and then you can take it out when it’s finished and leave it for the daffs to come back in spring

Is a bedding plant just like a little pansy or something? I don't know what they're properly called.
Do the bulbs just stay underneath and grow back next spring? I guess they're quite far down

I am a total beginner. Sorry.

The daffs should come back. They should ideally be in the shade once they've finished flowering. But keep watering them.

You have to leave spring bulbs till the foliage dies down, this can take,8 weeks. They replenish the bulbs for next year. It would be extremely difficult to plant over the top. What I do is....put the daffodils in a cheap plastic pot, give them a feed, cheap tomato feed,you dilute is fine,stick them away out of sight and plant something nice in the lovely pot. I've tried "bulb lasagne" in the past, where you plant different bulbs of different heights that come out at different times. The theory being you always have something flowering,in reality, you have scruffy dying leaves and stuff trying to struggle through.

Leave the leaves to die back fully before you do anything. Keep watering a bit whilst the leaves are dying, but don't overdo it.
Then gently pull the dead leaves out.

Then, if there is room in the top of the pot, add an inch or two of compost on top and plant some annual bedding flowers in it. When those die next autumn or winter, get rid of them and re-top up the compost ready for the daffodils to return.
