Will my Narcissus still flower next year as I have cut the stalks & leaves when I should not have done so?

It wasn't until after I cut them that I read that they should be left so that the nutrients go back into the bulbs ready for the following year

Give them a good feeding of bone meal right now and again in the fall, and they should be OK. Dig around the plant a little, and dump in bone meal, water. In the fall, just broadcast the bonemeal in the general area (if you are no longer sure where they are) and water.
Reply:That is tricky.
Reply:only if the leaves were left on the plant for at least 6 weeks after flowering.
Reply:They should. Narcissus are very tough bulbs.
Reply:not exactly sure, but i found several growing in an area of my yard that i had kept mowed for years. this time i just left them alone and they grew fine
Reply:Stir bulb fertilizer in the area around them now IT MIGHT EVEN CAUSE THE FOLIAGE TO RE-GROW,and again before the ground freezes next fall.
Reply:if they have bolbs they will rebloom
