: I am wondering what to do about my gladiolas now that they have stopped blooming for the season. Can I cut back the plants at this point or do I have to let the leaves or stalks keep growing in order to for the bulbs to store energy? Is is the same as for daffodils ? Thanks for the help.

Do cut the spent flower stalk but don't cut the leaves. It is the same as for daffs.
