daylily

For 'Going Bananas' daylilies, a good rule of thumb is to water 1-2 inches per week. Once established, this variety is quite drought tolerant, so it is important to monitor soil moisture before watering to prevent overwatering and potential root rot. The best times to water daylilies are in the morning or evening when the sun is not at its strongest, however, if they become overly dry during the day, you can water anytime. If you are in an area with a lot of rainfall, you may be able to get away with watering less often.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Going Bananas') require at least 6-8 hours of full sun each day in order to thrive. Plants can suffer if they receive too little sunlight, such as stressed or delayed growth, sunburn or leaf scorch. It is best to plant these plants in a location that is exposed to morning sun and afternoon shade or filtered sunlight. Avoid planting them in an area that receives excessive afternoon sun, as this can cause the foliage to dry out and the flowers to wilt easily.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Going Bananas') should be lightly pruned in the early spring before new growth begins. This means removing any dead, damaged, or discolored foliage. If the plant has substantial amounts of old foliage, the entire plant may be cut to a height of about 6 inches. After the initial pruning, the plant should be dead-headed (remove spent blooms) throughout the blooming season. Additionally, any weak or spindly stems may be removed if needed. It may be necessary to prune off some of the foliage after the blooming season is finished too, as this will help to keep the plant looking tidy.
