daylily

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Burlesque') needs to be kept evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Water deeply 1-2 times a week when the soil becomes slightly dry to the touch. It is best to avoid overhead watering in the evening. Adding a layer of mulch around the plant can help the soil retain water. Fertilize the soil with a balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 every 4 weeks in the growing season for best results.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Burlesque') thrive in full sun and require 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. In climates where the temperature regularly reaches above 85° F, providing some afternoon shade is advised. In shadier climates, daylilies may require more sunlight as they can become leggy and thin. The blooms of daylilies can last anywhere from 1 to 2 days, and will usually open and close with the sun. In order to promote more vibrant and longer-lasting blooms, it is recommended that additional light be provided through artificial sources like grow lights.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Burlesque') should be pruned once each year in late fall or early spring. During this time, the flower stalks can be trimmed back to about 2 inches above the soil. This will help prevent overcrowding and promote a more compact habit. If desired, more aggressive pruning can be done by removing each fading flower stalk at its base. Additionally, the foliage can be cut back once a year in late autumn or early winter to just a few inches above the soil. This will encourage healthier growth for the following season.
