My daffodil foliage sags in the rain and covers up everything else for a long time after the flowers have died off, and it is not pretty.

I am worried there is no clean way to handle your daffodils after flowering a messy looking garden is the price you pay for a glorious show of blooms in the spring and to ensure they continue to give you a excellent show you should leave them to die back without interference .No daffodil expert would urge braiding or folding over and tying as this interferes with the flow of nutrients to the bulb and is considered terrible practice.
braid them up.. don’t cut them off until the foliage dies.. the foliage is re-fueling the bulbs..
Julie has best resolution to this one. Or you could tie red or yellow ribbon around them! Do not cut them.
You should by no means cut the leaves, fold them over and secure with a tie of some kind, the leaves send nutrients back into the bulb for next season.
