Plant your Daffodils among your Day Lilies

Rather than wrapping your daffodil leaves up into a bundle when the daffodils have passed, plant your daffodils among your day lilies -- the daffodils will bloom first, adding vibrant color to the beautiful patch of green leaves, and the always green leaves of the day lilies will hide the unsightly yellowing leaves of the daffodils after the daffodils bloom . . . (Not cutting the daffodil leaves back will allow the strength of the leaves to go back into the daffodil bulbs for the next year's beautiful daffodils). Never again will you worry about the unsightly brown leaves of the beautiful daffodils!  (Thanks to Newton's master gardener Pat Rand for the tip!)
