tetraploid daylily

Tetraploid Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Judith') need 1 - 2 inches of water per week, either from rain or watering in a garden setting. This is best done in the morning, avoiding the hottest parts of the day since afternoon and evening waterings can increase the likelihood of disease. During periods of extreme heat, or when the soil has been allowed to dry out, more water may be needed. It is important to ensure plenty of drainage in the soil as standing water can cause root damage. Wilting of the leaves can be a sign that the plant needs more water.

The tetraploid daylily (Hemerocallis 'Judith') typically needs full sun to grow best. This flower should be exposed to at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, and even more is beneficial. During summer days, the flower should receive a steady source of direct sunlight each day from 10:00am to 4:00pm. During the cooler months, an indirect amount of sunlight is suitable for the flower, about 4 to 6 hours (depending on the intensity of the sun). Whenever possible, it is best to give the tetraploid daylily as much direct sunlight as possible, as this encourages better blooms and healthier foliage.

Tetraploid daylily (Hemerocallis 'Judith') is best pruned in late summer or early autumn. This will allow the new growth resulting from pruning to develop and then harden off and become winter-resistant before colder weather sets in. Start by removing any dead or diseased foliage and flower stems. You can also cut back long shoots to a length of 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) to promote healthier growth.A further prune can be done in early spring before new growth begins. Cut back leggy, weak shoots close to the base to help promote vigorous, healthy growth.
