daylily

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Friend Jack')should be kept uniformly moist during their growing season, which is typically from early spring to early fall. They should be watered about twice a week, delivering enough water to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. In the heat of summer and during periods of drought, they will need to be watered more frequently, sometimes up to every other day. Stop watering daylilies in late fall, when they go dormant and growth has stopped. The purpose of watering is to provide moisture for the plant and to help regulate temperature.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Friend Jack') generally prefer 6-7 hours of direct sunlight each day. They can also tolerate more or less light depending on the region in which they are planted. Daylilies should be planted in areas with full sun, preferably morning sun with some afternoon shade to protect the plant from the intense afternoon heat. Daylilies planted in regions with intense summer sun may require more protection than those planted in more temperate climates with milder sunlight. It's best to plant daylilies so they get plenty of morning light and protection in the late afternoon.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Friend Jack') should typically be pruned during the late winter or early spring. Pruning should be done carefully as daylilies are classified as herbaceous perennials, meaning that when the foliage is cut back their won't be any regrowth. Be sure to remove any dead stalks or leaves and to cut back the foliage to within 2-4 inches of the soil. This will allow for healthy new growth in the spring. It is best not to prune too much, as daylilies are prone to rot if cut too deeply.
