Blossom And Leaf Removal
Once the flower fades, the flower and stem can be removed.
The leaves must remain on the plant until they turn yellow
and die. The leaves provide food to build up the bulb and
form next year's flower bud. Foliage cut for flower
arrangements is taken from several plants, not all from
one.
