Daffs usually don't flower because they're over-crowded. Once their season has finished dig up the bulbs and split the group. Also, don't cut the leaves off too early - I have a constant fight with my mother who likes a 'tidy' garden! Dead head them, but leave the leaves (if you see what I mean) in order for the bulbs to build themselves up for the next season's flowering.

They may not be planted deep enough. Daffs need a good layer of soil over them to bloom. Bulbs should be planted about 6 inches down.

are those interior the floor or potted? If interior the floor, water the foliage with a intense phosphorous fertilizer like Miracle Gro or Jack's classic Bloom Booster to make particular the bulb can convey jointly sufficient foodstuff to construct a clean bud earlier going dormant interior the wintry climate. by no ability, by no ability cut back the foliage lower back after the plant life flower. purely enable them to die lower back on their very own and fertilize the plant till the foliage is thoroughly brown. for the period of the summer season the roots take interior the foodstuff from the soil and use them to construct new buds for next flowering season. If those are potted tulips, plant them interior the floor as quickly as risk of frost is over with slightly of bone meal approximately an inch under each and each bulb and water properly. they're going to flower next season.

The only time I have seen Daffodils not bloom is when they've bloomed in pots then were transplanted into the ground. It's like they use up all their power in pots. Then they just put up leaves in the ground. If that's the case, I'd chuck them. Good luck.

Could they be overcrowded? Sometimes, too, they need feeding after a few years. Usually it is recommended to feed them at planting time, mid-season, and right after. If you have not amended the soil or fed them, they just might be running out of steam.
Also, is it time yet? There are early, mid-season, and late- blooming types.

If they are fresh bulbs planetd last year then they may take a year to establish properly especially as the ground was so dry. If they are old bulbs, then if you dead headed them too early last year before they was ready, then quite often they will be 'blind' for a year, wait until they start to rot back on their own before dead heading.
Also ensure they do have enough space, water and nutrients around them all year, even when they are dormant they can shrivel and dry out.
