watering

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Tetrina's Daughter') need regular watering, so aim to water frequently but lightly. During the growing season, from April through October, water about 1" per week - either manually with a hose or with drip irrigation. Water to keep the soil slightly moist at all times. Make sure to not oversaturate, as daylilies do not do well in overly wet conditions. During the cooler months, reduce the amount of water that your plants receive to about 1" every 2 weeks. Be sure to check the moisture level of the soil regularly before deciding when to water.

sunlight

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Tetrina's Daughter') is a sun-loving plant that thrives best in full to partial sunlight. For optimal growth, place your daylily in a location where it can receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. An example of this would be to place the plant in a sunny spot in the garden that gets morning sun and is partially shaded in the afternoon. Daylilies prefer soil that is well-draining and rich in organic matter. Water your daylily generously during the growing season, typically up to 3 times a week, and avoid overwatering as the plants are prone to root rot. It is best to water your daylily in the morning and direct the water to the soil rather than on the foliage. Fertilize your daylily every 2–4 weeks throughout the growing season with a complete fertilizer.

pruning

Pruning should be done in early spring before the daylily (Hemerocallis 'Tetrina's Daughter') begins to grow. Any wilted, discolored or dead foliage should be removed and will help improve flowering. Prune the foliage back to where the green begins. Also old flowerstalks should also be removed, as their removal will encourage a strong rebloom. Pruning should not be done too drastically or too late in the season as this will reduce the amount of flowers that the daylily produces.
