daylily

Daylilies should be watered regularly during the growing and blooming season. Aim to moisten the soil to a depth of 6-12 inches (15-30 cm). Water once or twice a week during dry weather or periods of excessive heat. Avoid over-watering, as this can cause the plants to rot or become diseased. Water the base of the plant in the morning or early afternoon when possible. If regular watering is not possible, daylilies can be mulched with organic materials to help protect them from drought.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Just A Bit') thrive in full sun, meaning they need 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. The best time for them to get sunlight is during the early morning hours from 8:00am to 11:00am, and again in the later afternoon hours from 4:00pm to 7:00pm. During the hotter months of summer, try to avoid direct sunlight in the afternoons since the intense heat may damage the daylily’s leaves.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Just a Bit') should be pruned annually in early spring, right before active growth begins. Pruning should be done carefully, but with confidence. Pruning should start by removing any unhealthy or misshapen foliage, then removing any old flower stalks and seed pods. Finally, prune down any remaining foliage to about 1 third its original size. This should be done in order to focus the energy of the plant to some of the healthier canes and potentially encourage the emergence of newer foliage. Additionally, it is important to remember to remove any foliage that flops onto the surrounding landscape. After the initial pruning, maintenance pruning should be done throughout the spring and summer to clean up any foliage that has been damaged or is dead.
