daylily

Daylilies should be watered when the top inch of soil around the plant begins to feel dry. Water thoroughly, and be sure that the water reaches down to the roots of the daylilies. In general, daylilies need about 1” to 1.5” of water per week during the active growing season (late spring through early fall). If the weather is exceptionally dry and hot, you may need to increase the amount of water slightly to help the plants thrive.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Green Flutter') need at least 6 to 7 hours of sunlight a day to thrive. They prefer full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight). It is best to give them morning sun and afternoon shade or dappled shade during the afternoon, as this limits the risk of dehydration and burning. They can tolerate partial shade, but may not produce as many flowers.

Daylilies can handle a good pruning once a year. The best time to prune daylilies is in late winter or early spring, as soon as the ground thaws and new growth becomes visible. To prune a Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Green Flutter'), start by removing any dried, dead or damaged foliage. Cut down the remaining foliage to 3-4 inches in height. If the plant is overgrown, you can trim up to 1-third of the foliage off without damaging the blooms. Don’t forget to remove any spent blooms to encourage more flowers. Before finishing the pruning process, inspect the root system and divide the overcrowded clumps of daylilies to give each 1 enough room for good growth.
