Gardenbees said:Just keep in mind that the leaves need to be straight, not crushed or broken from folding, in order for the bulbs to draw the nutrients to the ground.

You make an important point. Many gardening authorities now say that the leaves should remain undisturbed until they begin to turn brown. However, if you plan on replacing the bulbs each year, you can do with the leaves whatever your heat desires.
