daylily

Water daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Tennyson') frequently during the first season after planting. This will help them to become established. After that, water them 1" to 1-1/2" per week during active growth in the spring, summer and fall. Reduce watering to every 2 weeks during the winter months. When in doubt, check the soil moisture before watering. The soil should be moist, but not wet.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Tennyson') requires full sun in order to thrive. This particular species needs 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If it receives too much light, the flowers may burn and the foliage may discolor, causing it to look unhealthy. In areas with hot summers, it is best to provide some shade in the afternoon to prevent the plant from getting too much direct light. Additionally, if you want to encourage more flowering, you can move the plant to a sunnier location. Ultimately, it is important to monitor the indicators of how much sun the plant is getting and adjust accordingly.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Tennyson') should be pruned in late winter or early spring, before the new growth begins. Dead or damaged foliage should be removed. Cut heavily blooming plants back to the ground for improved air circulation. Deadheading spent flowers can promote additional flowering. Avoid pruning vigorously flowering plants if possible. By pruning daylily to enhance air circulation and decrease the number of buds on dying stalks, you can help reduce disease and encourage a more robust display of blooms.
