Having noticed that the local council cut verges before the daff's

one year they will cut too early and I will have no flowers the next year!

I think the rule of thumb is wait 6 weeks, by which time the foliage is
dying down, or starting to do so? Perhaps this year you could note the
date for your own interest and not least, for urgs!
