daylily

Water daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Brookwood Ojo Poco') deeply, 1 to 2 times per week. Water until the soil is evenly moist, then allow the top 2 inches to dry out slightly before watering again. Regular, deep watering helps promote lush foliage and abundant blooms. To avoid fungal disease, water the foliage of daylilies in the morning so that the foliage has time to dry before nightfall.

The daylily (Hemerocallis 'Brookwood Ojo Poco') is a low maintenance plant that does best in full sun exposure, needing at least 5 or 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. Too much shade may prevent bloom, and too much sunlight can cause scorch and wilt. Therefore, the best sunlight exposure is 1 with some morning sun and afternoon shade. For most zones, the ideal time for sunlight exposure for this species is between 8am and 4pm.

When pruning daylilies, wait until the end of flowering season, usually late summer. Deadheading, the removal of faded flower heads, can be practiced throughout the flowering season. Removing old foliage can also be done in the summer after flowering is complete. When pruning, remove all spent flowers, buds and foliage down to 1 or 2 inches from the ground and divide clumps if you see more than 1 crown in the clump. Be sure to limit the amount of foliage you prune, however, to an outer third of the clump. This encourages re-growth and encourages more flowers the following year.
