daylily

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Fairy Tale Pink') requires an average amount of water. Water the plant when the top inch or 2 of soil have become dry. Make sure to water it deeply and evenly so the entire root system is being fed. Avoid splashing water on the leaves and flowers as that can cause damage. Generally, daylilies should be watered twice per week in the summer and once per week in the spring and fall. During the winter, reduce the amount of water. If the temperatures are consistently below freezing, you won't need to water until the spring.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Fairy Tale Pink') need up to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day to thrive. Ideally, this means that they should be in a spot that receives full sun from 8am to 4pm daily. If the spot you have chosen does not receive quite this much sun, do not worry - they can tolerate partial shade and will still remain vibrant despite the reduced amount of sun exposure. Additionally, they require protection from the strong midday sun (which can fade the flowers) and the wind (which can dry them out too quickly).

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Fairy Tale Pink') should be pruned back at the end of winter or early spring when emerging new growth starts appearing. Prune back last year's foliage by cutting stems 2 to 3 inches below the ground. Remove any dead or damaged foliage. If spent flower stalks remain, cut these back as well. It is safer and more effective to use sharp pruners over string trimmers. Be sure to sanitize the blades between tasks and with each plant touched. Daylilies can also be pinched during the summer to encourage more branching and blooms. Pinch the growing tips when the shoots are 8-10 inches in length and new growth is beginning to appear. Daylilies should be given regular light pruning throughout the summer for best blooming results.
