daylily

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Rosana') should be watered about once a week, or when the top 1-2 inches of the soil is dry. Water thoroughly when watering, enough so that the entire root system of the plant is soaked. After watering, allow the excess water to drain away. Do not let the daylily sit in water, as this will cause root rot. If temperatures are particularly high during the summer, you may need to water the daylily every few days to keep the soil moist.

Daylily plants (Hemerocallis 'Rosana') require about 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day to ensure optimal growth and flowering. It is best to provide the daylily with morning sunlight and then provide some shade during the late afternoon and early evening when temperatures peak. This species of daylily tends to do best in warm climates with temperatures ranging from 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. However, in cooler climates, daylilies can tolerate temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. For best results, it is also important to ensure that the daylily is planted in moist, well-drained soil with ample organic matter.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Rosana') should be pruned annually after the flowers begin to fade and the plants die back (usually in late summer or early autumn). Start by cutting away dead or faded flower stalks at the base, just above soil level. Make sure to remove any dead foliage as this can encourage disease and decay. For more vigorous growth, you can prune the flower stalks down to a few inches to encourage a second flowering later in the season. Additionally, cutting away any excess foliage at the base of the plants - especially leaves with brown or yellow spots - can help promote healthy growth. Finally, if overcrowding becomes a problem, feel free to divide your daylily clumps for a more harmonious, healthy look.
