watering
Daylilies should be watered when the soil begins to feel dry, about 1-2 inches below the soil's surface. Be sure to check the soil around the roots of the Daylilies before watering, to be sure the water isn't puddling around them. Water Daylilies deeply and infrequently. A good rule of thumb is to water Daylilies about 2 inches (5cm) deep each week, applying enough water to moisten the soil to the depth of the roots. Water slowly to allow the water to soak well into the soil. Avoid the temptation to give 'just 1 more gallon', as this may lead to root rot and other problems.
sunlight
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Adams Street') thrives best in full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. To ensure your plants receive the most sunlight, place them in an area with little to no shade and no overhanging branches from trees. Ideally, the plant should receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sun each day, but 4-5 can also suffice. Additionally, the sunlight should be spread throughout the day rather than all at once. If your location does not provide enough sunlight, supplementing the area with grow lights can either be done indoors or outdoors.
pruning
Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Adams Street') should be pruned twice a year for the healthiest and best bloom. Pruning the plant in early spring will encourage new growth and will give the plant the opportunity to create a thick, lush foliage. In mid-summer, remove any brown or withered foliage, then cut back the remaining foliage to half the length of the existing foliage. This will allow more air to flow into the plant and give it a healthier appearance.
