daylily

Daylilies should typically be watered 1-2 times per week and should receive at least 1 inch of water per week. The amount of water required for Hemerocallis 'Northbrook Star' will depend on the climate in which it is grown and other environmental factors. During periods of extreme heat or drought, daylilies may need additional water beyond what is typically recommended. To ensure your daylilies receive enough water, check the soil moisture level and water when the soil is slightly dry. To avoid over-watering, it's best to water deeply and infrequently, rather than more shallow and frequent watering.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Northbrook Star') thrives in full sunlight for 6-8 hours per day, with some afternoon shade in hotter climates. For best results, it should be planted in an area that will receive full sun from the beginning of spring to mid-summer, then partial shade for the rest of the summer. In areas with harsher summers, morning sun with afternoon shade is best. It is important to ensure that the daylily is not overshadowed by nearby buildings or taller trees; otherwise the blooms will be pale and the plant may not flower at all.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Northbrook Star') should be pruned in early to mid-spring, usually early to mid-April, by cutting off any dead or damaged foliage and dead flower stalks. It’s a good idea to remove any dead or damaged foliage as soon as it is noticed, but it should be pruned back more extensively in the early spring. This should be done either with scissors or garden shears, depending on the size of the plant and the quantity of foliage needing trimming. Pruning should be done until around an inch of foliage growth remains. If the plant appears to be overly aggressive, you can remove a greater amount of foliage to help control its growth.
