watering

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Evermore Greatful') prefer moist but well-draining soil. They will tolerate light drought, but their blooms will be less impressive if they are not given the correct amount of water. Water daylilies regularly so that the soil is consistently moist, especially during their active growing periods. Water in the morning so that any excess moisture can evaporate quickly. Avoid getting the leaves wet as this can lead to disease. During times of extreme heat or drought, supplemental watering may be necessary in order to keep plants looking their best.

sunlight

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Evermore Greatful') prefers full sun, which is 6 to 8 hours of direct sun daily. Too much shade will cause the plant to produce fewer and smaller blooms. The timing of sunlight for a daylily is also important; daylilies should receive the majority of their direct sunlight in the morning, as this is when they are most active and building flower buds. Too much afternoon sun can cause heat stress, which can lead to wilting in the hottest days. A location away from trees and other tall structures will ensure that the daylily has ample sunlight each day and will look its best.

pruning

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Evermore Greatful') should be pruned in early spring, just as the new growth begins to sprout. Pruning should be done annually, and should be minimal, removing only dead or damaged foliage and flower stalks. Flower buds should not be pruned, as this will reduce flowering. When pruning, each foliage fan should be cut back by no more than a third of its original length. Canes should be selectively pruned, removing any dead or weak stalks while leaving the healthy canes in place. Doing this will help ensure that daylilies remain healthy and continue to provide abundant blooms each year.
