daylily

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Greywoods Lofty Lizzie') prefer moist soil and benefit from regular watering. Aim to water them deeply and thoroughly once a week, but only when the top inch or 2 of soil is dry. During particularly hot weather in summer you may need to water them more often, being careful not to overwater. Established plants might only need watering every 2 weeks. If the soil around these plants is allowed to dry out then the growth will slow and blooms will be reduced.

Daylily (Hemerocallis ‘Greywoods Lofty Lizzie’) plants prefer full sun, but they can also tolerate some light shade. These plants are best suited for areas that receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. To ensure that the plant receives an adequate amount of direct sunlight, select a location where the sun is not likely to be blocked by trees or other structures. Additionally, planting in an area which is not near large buildings or walls which block sunlight is also recommended. If necessary, an artificial light source can also be used to supplement the natural sunlight hours.

Daylilies should be pruned in early spring each year to maintain a good shape and encourage healthy blooms. Start by removing any dead foliage from the previous year by cutting it back close to the ground. Pruning can also help increase blooms. Cut away about a third of the old flowering stems after the plant has finished flowering. This will encourage new growth and larger blooms. To keep your Daylily looking its best, consider dividing it every 3 to 5 years. This will help promote strong growth and large, healthy blooms. To do this, dig up the clump and divide it into pieces, each with a few growing points. Plant the divisions with new soil and then mulch and water to protect your plant from temperature changes.
