watering

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Radiant Greetings') should be watered about once a week. When watering your daylily, make sure the entire root system is evenly moist. Over-watering can lead to root rot, so be sure not to overdo it. When you water, make sure the water can soak in well around the base of the plant and then discard any excess water. Water in the morning or early afternoon for best results.

sunlight

Daylily 'Radiant Greetings' does best when it is exposed to at least 6-8 hours of sunlight each day. While it can tolerate partial shade, for maximum blooms and healthy foliage, full sun is the best option. Morning sun is particularly beneficial. In areas with hot climates, some afternoon shade may be beneficial. If planted in shadier locations, they may become leggy and plentiful foliage, but fewer blooms.

pruning

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Radiant Greetings') should be lightly pruned in late winter, when the plant has gone dormant. This encourages more healthy new growth during the spring. To prune, snip off any yellowing, wilting, or browning leaves and dead flowerheads. Remove any dead foliage from the center of the plant as well, to ensure sufficient airflow and light to the new growth. Do not prune too heavily, as daylilies prefer to be left to grow as naturally as possible.
