daylily

Daylilies require consistent moisture and should be watered once or twice a week, depending on the weather. In hot, dry, windy weather, plants may need to be watered daily or even more than once a day. During the cooler, wetter months, water only enough to keep the soil moist, and light monthly fertilizing is recommended to encourage vigorous growth and bloom. This particular variety may require more frequent watering as it is a hybrid and more delicate.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Apricot Honey') is best grown in sunny sites with at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight and at least 4 to 6 hours of indirect sunlight per day. This plant thrives in well-drained soil and should be planted in an area with good air circulation. It will also tolerate partial shade, but not full shade. When it comes to growing this plant species, early morning sunlight is best as it can help the plant withstand afternoon temperatures and direct sunlight better. It is best to avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day to prevent leaf scorch or wilting.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Apricot Honey') plants should be pruned in late winter or early spring, right before growth begins. Pruning daylilies encourages healthier, fuller plants. To prune, remove all dead foliage and flower stalks back to the base using clean, sharp pruners. During this pruning, a third of the previous year’s foliage should also be removed. This will help to make sure the daylilies remain healthy and free from disease. Pruning can be done as needed throughout the plant’s flowering season, but it should never be done during the plant’s bloom.
