daylily

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Joan Senior') require an average amount of water and should be watered every 7-10 days during its growing season. During the summer months, water deeply once per week so that the roots absorb plenty of moisture. After the first couple of weeks of watering, you can reduce the amount to once every 2 weeks. When autumn arrives, cut back on watering drastically or stop altogether. During winter, they won't need any water as they will go dormant.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Joan Senior') plants require approximately 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. It is best to provide the plant with this full amount of direct sunlight, but a minimum of 4 to 5 hours will be adequate. When giving direct light to the plant, it is important to choose a location where it will not become scorched by the intense heat of the afternoon sun. In addition to its direct sunlight requirements, it will also benefit from bright, indirect light during the remainder of the day.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Joan Senior') should be pruned in the spring, right before active growth begins. Prune off any dead or damaged foliage, and shape as desired. Depending on how long you want the plants to last, you can either lightly prune or shape heavily. When pruning, focus on removing visible dead or damaged foliage, and avoid cutting live growth. Daylilies can also be lightly divided in the fall after they've finished blooming. This will help to revitalize the plants and will promote increased growth and blooms.
