watering
Daylilies generally prefer moist, well-drained soil and should be watered regularly during the growing season. For 'Chicago Sunrise' daylilies, it is best to water deeply once or twice a week. Water early in the morning so that the plant's roots are hydrated during the day. Be sure to check soil moisture before watering; if the soil is already moist, skip a watering. During periods of heat, water more frequently, as dry soil can cause the foliage to droop. However, avoid over-watering, as this can lead to root rot. It is also important to reduce watering once the plant enters a dormant period.
sunlight
Daylilies, specifically the 'Chicago Sunrise' variety, need between 4 and 6 hours of sunlight per day to thrive. They do best if placed in a spot where they will receive full sun for at least 4 hours of the day, followed by some partial shade for the rest of the day. As long as the 'Chicago Sunrise' variety gets the recommended 4 to 6 hours of sun, it can be placed in any sunny spot of your choosing without further regards for the time of day.
pruning
Daylilies should be pruned every spring sometime around mid-April for optimal health. If the lilies are overcrowded, they may need to be dug up and divided in late summer. To prune Daylilies, use sharp, clean garden shears to cut back old stems to soil level. The new stems that grow will produce more flowers. If the plant is dividing, make sure to remove any dead or weak divisions and replant smaller clumps about 8-10” apart. Be sure that the remaining clumps are not too crowded and receiving enough sun and water.
