Blind daffodils?

Hello,

I am new to gardening and to this forum. So, please be patient if this is a silly or naive question...

I moved into a new house in December -- first time I have lived in a house with a garden rather than a city-centre apartment! I am enjoying seeing what is popping up in the garden now that spring is here.

Question: What are the green stems that dominate the picture, behind the muscari? Am I right that these are blind daffodils that are no longer flowering?

What is the best thing to do here -- should I try to divide them? They look much too densely packed to my eye.

 

Im not certain they are but if the are indeed daffs their blindness may be because they are overcrowded or lacking sunshine.

I had blind daffs in pots. Emptied the pots, divided them,next year plenty flowers .

Had blind daffs at the lawn edges. Chopped back the trees and got more sunlight to them, plenty flowers now.

 

Welcome None. They are definitely not Daffodils but a close up shot of the leaves would help identification please.

 

Thank you Not sure how my username ended up as None!

I'll take a better picture when the sun comes up tomorrow

 

Thanks. If you contact a member of admin they will be able to change your username if it bothers you.

 

Here's a clearer picture of the non-flowering stems if anyone can identify. Thanks!

 

Hi @Kon, Have a google at Crocosmia ( old name Montbretia ). It's a summer flowering ( oink/yellow/orange or red ) flowering corm that can grow into a clump but is easily split and divided uo.

 

That's what I was thinking of KFF.

 

By the way the first colour is pink not oink ☺

 

Were you thinking of pigs KFF, they're pink?

 

That's what it was Sheal.
The leaves reminded me of their curly little tails

 

Looks like Crocosmia to me as well . Nice plant flowers July / August .
