daylily

Daylilies need to be watered regularly and thoroughly. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, but avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. In hot weather, daylilies should be watered once a week, giving each plant a thorough soaking, allowing the water to run out the bottom of the pot. In cooler weather, you can water less frequently, as needed. It is best to water the daylily in the morning so that it has time to dry out before nightfall.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Golden Tycoon') require a good deal of direct sunlight, with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day throughout the growing season (March through October). If planted in partial shade, daylilies should receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight to thrive and produce healthy blooms. During the months of July and August, these daylilies benefit from a break from the intense midsummer sun and can tolerate some afternoon shade. In the winter months, daylilies can go without direct sunlight.

It is recommended to prune daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Golden Tycoon') at the end of the growing season, usually in the early fall. Cut back the flower stalks of the plant, if desired. This will prevent the plant from self-sowing and will also help keep the plant tidy and neat looking throughout the winter months. Additionally, you can also prune off any dead leaves or foliage that may have accumulated at the base of the plant. Pruning daylilies this way should only take a few minutes and will help promote new growth for the following season.
