Is it too late to spray off and kill my daffodils?
I do like daffodils, but I want to plant a low clipped evergreen hedge where they are currently infesting (between a log roll edging to the lawn and the wall), and I don't want leaves pushing up through it next year!

So ... digging them up is not an option?
Of course it is. It would be my second option though!
It would be my first. Just sayin'!
Can you donate them to a village in bloom type of organisation who might want to send volunteers to come and dig them up and replant in verges/public spaces?
Not really, but.... I could put them in pots for next year now you mention it.
If I miss any (I'm bound to) they're getting sprayed next year though!
Bet they go slimey!
There's always the potential for slime with daffs and I bet if you spray 'em that's what they do!
And you'll probably be haunted by the ghost of William Wordworth ...

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
You will be digging that bit anyway if you are going to put a hedge in so just chuck the daff bulbs in a bin when you unearth them.
I mowed mine down this week. I reckon less than 1% flowered.
They're planted in the grass along the drive. ( before our time here ) and they look naff.
