daylily

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Almost Paradise') require 1-2 inches of water each week during the growing season (spring and summer). Care should be taken not to over-water, as too much water can lead to root rot. During the fall and winter months, they can survive with natural rainfall. If the weather is unusually dry, water the plant once per month during the winter months.

Daylilies (Hemeroccallis 'Almost Paradise') need full sun to produce the best blooms. They should receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. If possible, they should be placed in an area that receives morning sunlight followed by afternoon shade. While direct sunlight is preferred, daylilies can also tolerate some indirect light as well. Planting in an area that receives dappled sunlight for a few hours during the day will also be sufficient.

Daylilies should be pruned in late winter or early spring before the new growth appears. To perform pruning, simply trim away the dead, damaged, or diseased foliage. Remove any spent blossoms from the previous season as well. If the daylily is overcrowded or was not pruned the prior year, divide the clumps, replanting only vigorous, healthy divisions. Generally, daylilies should not require frequent division; once every 3-4 years should suffice.
