tetrapoild daylily

When watering the Tetrapoid Daylily, it is best to water deeply once or twice a week. Water in the morning when leaves are dry. Water at the base of the plant and avoid wetting the foliage to prevent fungal diseases. When temperatures are very warm, increase the amount of watering to twice a week, unless the soil is very sandy, then increase to 3 times per week. During the winter when growth slows, reduce watering to once every 2 or 3 weeks.

Tetrapoild daylily (Hemerocallis 'Golden Tear Drops') should receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive. Morning sunlight is best for this species as it helps to create strong stems and flowers; however, afternoon or even evening sunlight is acceptable if that is all that is available. This species of daylily can tolerate some light shade during the hottest parts of the day, however, full-sun exposure is ideal for optimal flower blooming and growth.

Tetrapoild daylily (Hemerocallis 'Golden Tear Drops') should be pruned in early spring before new growth appears. Cut back the old foliage to a few inches above the ground and remove any dead or damaged foliage. Also remove any dead flower heads. Pruning helps keep the plant healthy and promotes new growth. Pruning should be done as little as possible to preserve the overall shape of the plant. If needed, light sheering of the plants top foliage can be done after flowering is completed, to encourage a fuller, more attractive look. Cutting back too much may cause the flower buds to not produce and limit the flowering season.
