daylily

Daylilies prefer soil that is evenly moist but not overly wet; you should water the Apricot Sparkles every other day. You can water the plant early in the day to allow for any dampness to evaporate before nightfall. During the summer months, water more often; if the weather is particularly hot, you may need to water the daylilies every day. In the winter season, water every 3-4 days. Make sure the soil is being regularly watered to a depth of 3-4 inches.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Apricot Sparkles') is a hardy perennial plant that thrives best in full sun. It should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day during the growing season. In areas with hot summers, afternoon shade is recommended to protect the plant from the strongest sunlight and to reduce water consumption. In climates where summers tend to be milder, daylilies can enjoy full sun all day. During the winter months, the plant should be kept in a sunnier spot with at least morning sun, as this will prolong its blooming season.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Apricot Sparkles') should be lightly pruned in early spring (late March or early April) as new growth begins. Pruning should remove any dead or damaged foliage, and can also be used to shape or maintain the plant's size and overall shape. To maintain a neat appearance, the old foliage can be cut back to an inch or 2 above the soil line. Pruning daylilies this way can stimulate new growth and allow air and sunlight to reach the entire plant. Some daylily varieties can also be lightly pruned after the first blooming period in late spring or early summer to remove spent blooms and encourage a second blooming period. Pruning too heavily can reduce the number of blooms a plant produces so take care to only lightly prune the plant.
