daylily

Daylilies require regular watering to stay healthy and to perform at their best. In general, water the plants deeply once or twice a week, depending on the weather. If the weather is dry and hot, then water more often. Water the soil around the plants until the water soaks in about 4 inches deep. Allow the soil around the plants to dry out slightly between waterings. In the winter, reduce watering significantly or only water when the soil is dry. Over-watering can lead to root-rot.

The Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Hyperion') should receive at least 6 hours of full sun per day. Generally, in regions with hot summers, such as the southeastern United States, daylilies do best with some shade during the hottest afternoon hours. In cooler regions, they can stand more direct sunlight. They can handle lower light levels, but they may not flower as much. Daylilies typically grow in USDA hardiness zones 3 through 9.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Hyperion') is a low-maintenance flowering plant that only requires minimal pruning. Pruning should be done right after the flowers begin to fade, usually in late summer or early fall. This encourages new leaf formation, vigorous blooming, and larger, healthier flowers in the following bloom season. To prune a daylily, simply remove any spent, dead, or damaged foliage and stems down to the base of the plant. To ensure the healthy growth of this plant, deadheading should be done regularly, preferably in the morning after the dew has dried. Doing this helps to keep the plant looking neat and gives room for fresh blooms in the upcoming season.
