The Tetraploid Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Cherry Berry') is a stunning, low maintenance beauty with bright blooms that will bring stunning color to your garden. The vibrant coral-colored blooms have a light yellow throat and are lightly fragrant, appearing atop sturdy stems of fragrant foliage.

watering

Tetraploid daylily (Hemerocallis 'Cherry Berry') requires moderate amounts of water. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not wet. Water deeply at least once a week during the growing season (spring and summer). During periods of intense heat or when the plant is in full bloom, water may need to be increased to twice a week. In the fall and winter, when the plant is dormant, water infrequently and less deeply. Let the top 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) of soil dry out before watering again. Over-watering can be detrimental to the plant so overwatering should be avoided.

sunlight

Tetraploid daylilies need full sun for optimal growth and flowering. The ideal amount of sunlight for this species is at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. For best results, try to provide the plant with 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. When intense midday sunlight is unavoidable, try to provide some shade to reduce any direct exposure to the sun.

pruning

Tetraploid daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Cherry Berry') should be pruned lightly once a year if necessary. Pruning can be done anytime between late May and early June. To prune, start by removing any dead, damaged, or diseased foliage, then snip off any spent flowers, and pinch off any seed heads. This will help keep the daylily healthy and flower more prolifically. Avoid pruning to shape, as this may damage the plant. Removing blooms too early or too late may reduce flower production the following summer.
