daylily

This plant species requires a moderate amount of water and should ideally be watered twice a week when the soil is dry (every 3 to 4 days), making sure that the soil is kept moist but not soggy. It is important to water Daylily 'Apricot Petticoats' plants at the base of the plant, avoiding getting the leaves wet. It is best to water in the morning hours so any excess moisture will evaporate before nightfall. If temperatures remain high and the plant looks dry, then it may require supplemental watering between regular scheduled times. When the daylilies are in their dormant phase, they will require less water than when they are actively growing and blooming.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Apricot Petticoats') should be grown in a sunny area for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. These plants respond best with full sun in the morning, followed by afternoon shade during the hottest times of the day in summer, and therefore should be planted in a location that receives this amount of sunlight. While daylilies are highly tolerant of occasional heat and drought, they will perform better in areas with cooler temperatures. Additionally, it is important to note that these plants need good air circulation, so they should be planted in a spot with good air movement.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Apricot Petticoats') should be pruned either in late spring or early summer. The goal is to keep them short and somewhat compact and prevent them from becoming stressed or damaged from too much growth. Generally, it is best to prune off any dead or faded flowers and remove any overcrowded stems, as this encourages new growth and increases flowering. Additionally, cutting back the foliage to the desired height helps to reduce the plant's size and provides better air circulation. Cutting back too far can negatively impact the overall health of the daylily, so take care not to prune more than 1-third of the total foliage at once.
