daylily

Daylilies require medium amounts of watering and should be watered when the topsoil is dry to the touch. Generally, this species should be watered once a week, however, during times of extreme heat or drought the frequency of watering may be increased. It is important not to over water the daylilies as this can lead to root rot and other issues with the soil. The best way to water daylilies is to water their root zone deeply using a sprinkler or soaker hose. Watering deeply once a week is preferable to a light daily watering.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Concorde Nelson') requires full sun. This means that at least 6 hours of sunlight a day is needed for optimal growth and flower production. Ideally, the plant should receive sunlight from morning until mid-afternoon. This ensures that the plant has enough energy for the day while avoiding the scorching afternoon sun. Avoid exposing this plant to too much sunlight during the hottest part of the day as this can dry out the plant and cause leaf burn.

To keep daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Concorde Nelson') looking their best, they should be pruned at the end of winter, typically late-February to early-March, before new growth begins. Pruning should be done lightly and should only focus on removing dead, damaged, or diseased foliage. Flowering shoots should never be cut back, as doing so will prevent flowering. The leaves can be carefully cut back to about 12 inches from the ground. Additionally, crowded or overgrown clumps of daylilies should be divided to promote healthier growth and more blooms.
