watering

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Siloam Cherry Chimes') should be watered about 1-2 inches per week. Water more often in hot summer months, and less in cooler months. When watering, water deeply so that water reaches the roots of the plant. Try not to wet the foliage, as this can lead to fungal diseases. Water daylilies in the morning, as this helps the plants to dry quickly in the sun. If wilted foliage is detected, give the daylilies a deep soak to revive them.

sunlight

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Siloam Cherry Chimes') should receive full direct sunlight for at least 3 hours each day. They do not mind overly sunny conditions, but if it is too intense, morning sunlight is best. A location that receives some shade during the afternoons is ideal, particularly during the peak heat hours of the day. Daylilies do best when exposed to sunlight throughout the day, but avoid full, direct sunlight midday. They also need to be protected from wind so that their delicate petals do not burn or rip.

pruning

Daylily (Hemerocallis ‘Siloam Cherry Chimes’) should be pruned in late summer or early fall after the blooms have faded. Remove spent bloom stems all the way to the ground and also remove any foliage that has become brown and withered. It is important to only prune the stems and not the entire plant. If you need to prune the entire plant back to a desired height, prune no more than 1/3 of the plant. Doing so will ensure proper growth and health of the daylily.
