daylily

Water your daylily (Hemerocallis 'Lady Eva') deeply and consistently so the soil stays moist but not wet. Water the daylily at least once a week during the growing season, usually from mid-spring to mid-fall. During especially dry periods, water twice a week or more. Water in the morning rather than the evening to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Apply at least 1 inch of water each time that you water and allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

The Daylily (Hemerocallis ‘Lady Eva’) is a vibrant, full and bushy flower that thrives in full to partial sunlight. For optimal growth and flowering of this species, it needs 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. It produces the most blooms in areas that get full sun in the morning and partial shade in the afternoon. Too much shade or too much sun can reduce the amount of flowers and the blooming period of this plant. Additionally, the color intensity of the blooms is also enhanced by the amount of sunlight they absorb.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Lady Eva') benefit from pruning each year to keep them healthy and looking their best. Pruning should begin early in the growing season when new shoots appear; these can be trimmed back by a few inches for a fuller appearance. Once they are in bloom, deadheading spent blossoms will also help to encourage continuous blooming. After the blooming period is over, the foliage should be pruned down to the basal growth. This will help to promote new growth the following year. While periodic pruning throughout the season will encourage stronger, more numerous blooms, keep in mind that too much pruning can stress the plant and reduce flowering.
