watering
Daylilies should be watered about once a week; just enough to keep the soil moist, but never waterlogged. Depending on weather conditions, you may need to water more frequent during summer months, as hot, dry weather can lead to wilting. During winter, you may not need to water as often as the ground will be keeping the soil moist. As a general rule, you should ensure that the top 1-2 inches of soil is always damp, which can be done using a moisture meter if you wish.
sunlight
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Swedish Girl') is a plant species that prefers full sun to partial shade. It should be placed in an area where it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. During times when the weather is hot and dry, it will require additional water to keep its foliage from wilting. In temperate climates, this daylily should be shielded from midday sunlight, as this can be damaging to the plant. In warm climates, however, this plant should be given full sun for best flowering results.
pruning
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Swedish Girl') should be pruned once a year, typically at the end of the winter season, when the plant is still dormant but before new growth begins. Cut the stems back to 6-10 inches from the ground, taking care to avoid buds and emerging shoots. Pruning in early spring will help shape the plant, remove dead foliage and promote fresh blooms and more vigorous growth.
