tetraploid daylily

It is important to water a tetraploid daylily (Hemerocallis 'Baby Lamb') regularly. Water once a week, providing 1 to 2 inches of water each time. If the soil is dry up to your first knuckle, it is time to water. The amount and frequency of watering can be adjusted depending on the climate and season. During the summer, water more frequently, about 2 to 3 times per week with slightly more water. In areas with hot and dry climates, water more often than usual. During winter and early spring, water less often, about half of what you normally use during summer months.

Tetraploid daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Baby Lamb') need between 4-7 hours of sunlight per day. They thrive in full sun during the early morning and afternoon hours. It is best to avoid exposing them to direct sunlight from noon until late afternoon, as this can prevent burning and wilting of the leaves. Tetraploid daylilies perform best when their roots are shaded by mulch and their foliage is exposed to 4-7 hours of dappled sunlight.

Tetraploid daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Baby Lamb') should be pruned carefully in either early spring or late fall. Moderate pruning is beneficial, as it encourages the plants to bush out and bloom more heavily. To begin, look for any dead, diseased, or damaged foliage and remove it at the base of the stem with a sharp pair of pruning shears. Additionally, prune away any old, tattered foliage that is not producing blossoms. Finally, lightly prune away the dead blooms from the base of the stem, so as not to cut into healthy, living tissue. Pruning in either early spring or late fall is best since it allows the plant to regenerate and produce a fresh crop of blooms for the upcoming season. However, it should be noted that too much pruning may result in less blooms in the following season.
