watering
Daylilies should be watered deeply and regularly to keep the soil moist. Water them thoroughly in the spring when the shoots are several inches tall. During the summer, water your daylilies every week or 2, or whenever the soil has dried out to a depth of about an inch. During the hot and drier parts of the summer, you may need to water more frequently to keep the soil moist. In the fall, water once every 2 weeks or so. Decrease watering in the winter when the plants enter dormancy.
sunlight
Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Bookmark') prefer full to partial sun, at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. When planting daylilies, place the crown (the junction between the root and the shoot) in full sun. Avoid shaded sites as this can reduce flower production and cause the foliage to be sparse. Additionally, daylilies will benefit from morning sun as this encourages flowering. Daylilies can also tolerate some afternoon shade, especially in climates where temperatures remain hot during the day.
pruning
Daylily (Hemerocallis "Bookmark") should be pruned annually during the late winter or early spring. This will help promote healthy growth and flowering during the summer and fall months. Pruning should begin when new growth appears and the plant becomes active. The spent blossoms should be removed by cutting back the flowering stem at the base. This will also help encourage the growth of new flowers. Pruning can be done by cutting back the flower stems to just above the topmost leaves and cutting back old foliage and any dead foliage or damaged foliage. Prune only as much foliage as necessary to maintain an attractive shape and to allow for air circulation and sunlight. On mature plants, thin out foliage as needed, removing any crowded or weak stems. Prune daylilies lightly to maintain a pleasing shape.
