watering

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Autumn Red') should be watered regularly and deeply. In the spring and summer, daylilies should generally be watered once a week, with about 1-2 inches of water per week. During hot and dry spells, additional watering may be necessary. In the fall and winter, watering should be reduced as the frequency and amount of rainfall increases. Make sure to water the daylily before the soil becomes dry, but avoid over-watering, which can lead to root rot.

sunlight

Daylilies, like other plants, do best in full sun. Daylilies in particular prefer at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Proper sunlight will help the Autumn Red variety of daylily produce more vibrant and vibrant-colored blooms. The warmer temperatures of the summer months provide ideal conditions for growing daylilies, but they will still do well in some shade during mid-day. Afternoon sunlight is best for this variety of daylily, so if possible, position it in an area that receives sun in the late afternoon.

pruning

The daylily, Hemerocallis 'Autumn Red', should be pruned early spring in order to promote vigorous growth during the summer months. To prune, remove the dead and damaged foliage first before shaping the plant to create a pleasing aesthetic. After the initial pruning in early spring, the daylily should be given a “haircut” every 6-8 weeks during the growing season. Whenever pruning, it is important to not cut back more than 1-third of the plant’s overall height.
