daylily

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Ciel D'Or') grow best when they receive 1-2 inches of water per week. Ideally, water your daylilies at the beginning of the day, making sure to water thoroughly until water runs out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. It's especially important to keep daylilies well watered during the hot summer months when they are actively blooming. If the soil feels dry to the touch, you should consider watering. However, avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Ciel D'Or') require full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Ideally, these plants prefer 8-10 hours of direct sunlight. Planting in partial shade is not recommended, as it could reduce flowering and affect the plant's overall health. When placing in full sun, it should be in areas of the garden that do not experience extreme hot temperatures during the hottest months of the year.

Daylilies should be pruned when new growth appears in spring. Cut back the foliage and flower stems to 8-10 inches from ground level. Remove any dead or damaged foliage or stems. Rejuvenate the clump by lifting and dividing overcrowded groupings every 3-4 years. Prune the foliage after flowering as cleanup of any dead blooms. Deadheading spent flowers is important to promote more blooms and reblooming throughout the season.
