watering

Daylilies should be watered thoroughly every 7-10 days during the growing season. If the weather is hot and dry, you may need to water more frequently. When watering, ensure that the entire root ball is damp but not sitting in water. Reduce watering frequency to once per month in the winter, or when the plant is dormant. Make sure to check that the soil is dry before watering to avoid overwatering.

sunlight

Daylilies generally require an average of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to thrive and bloom well. Daylilies prefer full sun during the cooler parts of the day, generally in the morning, and some shade during the hotter parts of the day. It is best to place daylilies in a location that consistently receives full morning sunlight and some afternoon shade, such as east- or north-facing locations. When in doubt, consult a local expert who can best determine the correct amount and timing of sun for your specific variety of daylily.

pruning

Pruning for a daylily (Hemerocallis 'Apricot Beauty') should occur in the late fall, once the frost has killed the foliage of the plant. This will help prevent the spread of disease and unwanted crowding of the plant during the following warm seasons. Pruning should involve gently removing the spent flower stalks at a point just above the foliage. If desired, the foliage of the plant may then be cut back to the ground. Deadhead the flowers of the daylily regularly throughout the summer in order to promote further blooms.
