watering
Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Siloam Grace Stamile') should be watered once a week, with the amount of water depending on the soil type. For light, well-draining soils, approximately 1 inch of water should be applied per week. For heavier, clay soils, apply 1.5 inches of water per week. It is important to ensure that the soil is kept moist but not soggy, so adjust your watering schedule accordingly. If needed, water more often in periods of extreme heat or drought.
sunlight
Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Siloam Grace Stamile') need plenty of sunlight in order to thrive and produce their beautiful flowers. It is best to provide 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight to these plants per day, preferably 4 to 6 hours in the morning and 4 to 6 hours in the afternoon. Daylilies can be successfully grown in either full sun or partial shade, although full sun is recommended for best growth and flowering. Too much shade will produce fewer or smaller flowers. Areas with less sun should be supplemented with artificial lighting if desired.
pruning
Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Siloam Grace Stamile') are a low-maintenance, hardy plant species that usually require minimal pruning. Pruning should be done twice a year to encourage healthy, bushy growth and to control the size of the plant. In the late winter, once the flowering period has finished, trim off any dead foliage, leaving the foliage until new shoots appear in spring. In summer, trim off any foliage that looks old or diseased. To control the size of the plant, prune back just the tips of the main stems when flowering is finished. This will encourage bushier growth. Daylilies do not require extensive pruning, and some gardeners prefer to leave them unregulated to create a natural, wild look.
