daylily

Daylilies need regular watering to look their best. In general, they should be watered about once a week if the weather is dry: if there is considerable rainfall, then less frequent watering may be necessary. During the growing season, daylilies should receive 1 inch of water weekly, whether from rainfall or supplemental watering. During the hottest part of the season, they may benefit from additional watering. During the winter, however, water them only if the ground is dry. Water them thoroughly, supplying enough water for it to run off to a depth of several inches.

The Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Golliwog') will thrive in bright sunlight for at least 6 hours a day with either morning or afternoon sun being the best option. Generally, morning sunlight offers up to 6 hours of indirect sun exposure while providing shade in hotter hours of the day. When planted indoors, the Daylily should be placed near a window that receives sunlight for the majority of the day. Placing the plant near too shady of a window could cause it to not flower. To ensure best growth and flowering, be sure to provide your plant with ample amounts of sun exposure.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Golliwog') should be pruned during the springtime, after the threat of frost has passed and before the plant begins to bloom. Pruning should be done conservatively, focusing on deadheading spent flowers, dead or damaged foliage, and removing excessively long stems. Keeping daylilies at 18 inches or shorter can improve the overall health of the plant and make for a more attractive display. When pruning daylilies, only remove 1-third of the foliage at any given time. Removing too much foliage can inaccurately balance the plant and may result in stunted growth or damage.
