daylily

Daylilies require approximately 1 inch of water per week. During the hottest part of the summer, when temperatures consistently reach above 85 degrees, watering twice a week is recommended. When watering, it is best to water deeply. To do this, use a soaker hose and let the water slowly absorb into the soil for 8-10 hours. Once a month, you can give your daylilies an extra deep watering for 15-20 minutes. Avoid overhead sprinklers, as these can cause the foliage to dry out and be susceptible to diseases. Make sure your daylilies are getting enough water during the blooming season to ensure maximum blooms.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Cee Tee') need full sun or at least 6 hours of direct sunlight in order to produce their best blooms. Morning sun is preferred, although some afternoon sun is tolerated. During the summer months, daylilies will need between 8 to 10 hours of sunlight in order to remain healthy and vibrant. It is best to provide daylilies with enough sunlight all year round in order to keep them blooming.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Cee Tee') should be pruned yearly in early spring just as the growth starts to emerge from the ground. This plant prefers its foliage to be pruned back to within 6-8 inches of the soil for optimal bloom production in summer. Deadheading of the blooms will help to encourage more re-blooming and keep the flowers blooming for a much longer time. Pruning back the foliage will also help prevent disease and keep the plant vigorous and disease-free. Additionally, any damaged or dead foliage should be pruned away to keep the plant robust and healthy. For the best results, prune daylily 'Cee Tee' in early spring.
