daylily

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Carolyn Criswell') should be watered regularly to keep the soil lightly moist, but not soggy. Water once a week during the summer and once every 10 to 14 days when plants are not actively growing during the winter. Water early in the day so that the plants will have time to dry before evening. A deep weekly soaking can keep plants from wilting in hot weather. In rainy weather, water less.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Carolyn Criswell') prefer full sun for the most vigorous blooms and to look their best. They should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day in order to thrive. If possible, aim for 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. In general, try to provide the plant with sun during the morning and early afternoon hours when the sun's rays are less intense as this is generally better for the plant. Avoid exposing the daylily to the sun during the hottest part of the day, as this can cause the plant to become stressed.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Carolyn Criswell') should be pruned in early spring, before new growth appears. Pruning should involve deadheading (removal of flowering stems) and cutting back old foliage. The amount of pruning required will depend on the size of the plant, but a good guideline is to cut it back by 1-third. This will encourage new growth and will help keep the plant healthy and blooming. Removing faded flowers and yellowed, dead, or damaged leaves and stems will also help promote new growth.
