daylily

Daylilies should be watered about 1-2 inches per week. Water deeply about once a week or every other week, depending on the weather conditions. If it is especially hot and dry, water more frequently. Get an occasional deep soak into the root zone to help keep plants healthy, as the roots don't typically penetrate deep in the soil. Make sure to water daylilies during bloom period as the blooms last longer if they receive regular water. Additionally, add a slow-release fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks for optimal growth.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Eenie Weenie') plants need a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to thrive. The sun should be strongest in the middle of the day for optimal growth and flowering. If the climate you are growing the daylilies in is warm, such as the deep south of the United States, it's best to provide shade in the hottest part of the day, such as between noon and 3 p.m. Daylilies can handle more than 8 hours of direct sunlight a day in cool climates.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Eenie Weenie') should be pruned in late fall or early spring. This will help keep the plant healthy and prevent disease. Pruning should include removing dead and frost damaged stems, as well as cutting back any stems that are taller than the average height for the variety. Daylily also benefits from a moderate thinning of the foliage to promote airflow and sunlight penetration. This can be done by cutting away some of the dead or unhealthy foliage in spring or early summer. This pruning should be done lightly, avoiding overpruning which can cause damage to the stems and leaves.
