watering

Daylilies should be watered regularly and deeply to keep the roots hydrated. During the first year, this species of Hemerocallis should be watered about an inch every week. During the second year and on, water deeply once a week, unless conditions in your garden are unusually hot or dry. If days are hot and dry, you can water more frequently. If the weather is damp, you can reduce the amount of water given to this species of Hemerocallis.

sunlight

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Glowing Heart') prefer full or partial sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If planted in a shady area or an area that is partially obscured from sun by trees or buildings, you should supplement the sunlight with artificial grow lights for optimal health and growth. Daylilies also thrive in temperatures of 70–80°F (21-27°C). Avoid planting in extreme heat or cold, as this can cause stunted growth.

pruning

Daylilies should be pruned once a year during the spring, around March or April. Pruning of this daylily should involve removing spent foliage from the plant and trimming the leaves back to about 6-8 inches from the ground. This will promote new growth and help give the daylilya neat and tidy appearance. Pinching off any flower stalks that have already bloomed is also recommended, as this will help limit the risk of disease. It is also important to keep an eye on the foliage of the daylily and remove any yellowed or damaged leaves as they appear.
