Hi all - little advice please..

I planted a load of bulbs for this year and they look great, what's the best thing to do with them now they are at the end of flowering? can i cut them back and they will grow back next year or should i dig them up and plant again??
thanks in advance

    I would leave them to die back naturally.

    Assuming they are ones which will return, you can just do as @Pauline 7 says. A bit of slow release food or tomato food is also helpful for building them up too, which is what the foliage does naturally. 
    Some bulbs - like many of the tulips- aren't reliably repeat performers, so it would depend what bulbs you have.  :)
