watering

Tetraploid daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Tiger Time') should be watered liberally. Water the soil evenly and deeply. Water until the soil is saturated, and let the soil dry for a few days before watering again. This will usually mean watering around once or twice a week, depending on your climate and soil type. In general, when the top 2 inches of soil are dry to the touch, it’s time to water your daylily. During hot summer days, it may be necessary to water your daylilies more frequently.

sunlight

Tetraploid daylily (Hemerocallis 'Tiger Time') grows best in full sun, and it should receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight a day to remain vigorous and healthy. When planted in areas where sunlight is reduced, the plants will have fewer flowers and less vibrant colors. Additionally, daylilies appreciate dappled sunlight or partial shade in the heat of the afternoon. In this case, the plant can still receive indirect sunlight while also having some afternoon shade.

pruning

Tetraploid Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Tiger Time') should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be kept to a minimum in order to ensure healthy blooming. Cut back the foliage and flowers down to the crown of the plant to promote healthier growth and blooming. If needed, deadheading can be done once the blooms have faded. If any foliage is essential to a mature height or spread, lightly prune the leaves throughout the growing season.
