Generally in the home garden the daffodil remains in the ground and the blooms might be picked for kitchen bouquets.
Commercially the daffodils are harvested at these times:
- For cut flowers (especially in England) the harvest occurs just as the buds are about to break. Timing is variable, but it begins in early March and lasts until late April.
- For bulbs (especially in Holland) the harvest occurs when the leaves have turned yellow. Timing is again variable, but it begins in mid May and continues until late June.
