daylily

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Juan Tapia') should be watered when the top 2 inches of the soil become dry to the touch. During the summer, daylilies typically need approximately 1-2 inches of water per week, either in the form of rainfall or from irrigation. Water should be applied slowly and thoroughly in order to reach the roots. To avoid overwatering, it is best to wait for the soil to dry before watering again. In the winter, rain and snow typically provide sufficient moisture and additional watering may not be necessary.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Juan Tapia') should be grown in a location that receives full sunlight for at least 4 to 6 hours each day, ideally from 10am to 4 or 5pm. However, they will also perform well with a few hours of partial shade each day and should not be exposed to intense heat in summer. The amount and intensity of light is very important for blooming purposes. The more sunlight that this plant species receives, the better it blooms. As such, it is important to position this daylily in a bed that gets ample sunlight.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Juan Tapia') should be pruned in early spring as the plant is beginning to awaken from winter dormancy. Prune the plant down to 6 inches above the soil line to remove any dead foliage and flower stems. This will encourage new, healthy growth. Trim away any old foliage that is damaged or dead and remove any flowers and flower stems that are past their prime. Avoid cutting healthy foliage and flower stems, as this can cause stress and damage to the plant. Pruning in early spring guarantees a healthy and productive flowering season for your beautiful daylily.
