daylily

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Girly Q') should be watered once a week for best growth. Water deeply to ensure that the root zone is moistened thoroughly. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings as these plants do not like wet or soggy soil. In hot, dry conditions, water more frequently than once a week, up to twice a week if necessary. Soak the soil so that it is moist, and not just the surface. Mulch the area around the plants to keep the moisture in and weed growth down.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Girly Q') is best grown in full sun, which means that it should get at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. If the daylily is in a shaded area, it won't receive enough sunlight to thrive and may produce fewer blooms than those that are in sunny spots. Generally, the light should be most intense during the middle of the day, when the sun is at its strongest. To protect the plant from too much afternoon sun, it can be given some shade in the late afternoon.

When to Prune: Pruning daylilies is best done in the late winter/early spring before any new growth begins. How Much to Prune: Daylilies can be trimmed back by up to 1-third of their height in late winter/early spring. However, it is not necessary to prune daylilies every year as they can maintain their shape and size without regular pruning. Dead blooms can be removed whenever they appear, and any foliage that looks dead, diseased, or damaged can be trimmed away.
