daylily

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Fours are Wild') should be watered weekly when there is no rainfall. Aim to apply about 1 inch of water to the soil surrounding the plants. Make sure to water the entire root zone and not just the area near the foliage. It may be necessary to water more frequently during hot, dry periods. Monitor the moisture levels in the soil and adjust as needed.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Fours are Wild') require full sunlight for at least 5 to 6 hours each day, which is necessary for them to look their best and perform their best. Additional sunlight may be beneficial if available. Daylilies prefer morning sun and can tolerate afternoon sun as long as they have some shade during the hotter parts of the day. Make sure to site daylilies in a location with consistent light, so no shadows from trees or buildings obscure the light throughout the day.

Daylilies should be pruned shortly after the blooming period has ended, typically at the end of the summer or in early fall. First, dead foliage should be removed by cutting back to the basal foliage (the leaves just beneath the flowers). Then, lightly prune the remaining foliage, removing any yellowed, deteriorated or damaged leaves. Finally, prune any flowering stems left over from the previous season. Reducing the length of the stem will encourage the plant to produce more flower buds. Pruning should be done lightly and with care to avoid damaging the healthy foliage. Daylilies are a hardy plant and do not require heavy pruning, so no more than 1-fourth of the total foliage should be removed at 1 time.
