Hemerocallis 'Lady Georgia'
The daylily, or Hemerocallis 'Lady Georgia', is an easy-to-grow, fast-growing perennial that produces beautiful yellow and orange flowers in the summer. Its leaves are typically sword-shaped and dark green, with attractive glossy foliage. After flowering, the blossoms fade away but the foliage remains evergreen. The plant is suitable for beds, borders, containers, and mass planting, and is easy to care for, requiring only occasional pruning and division to keep its blooms fresh and lush. The flowers open in the morning and close at night, providing lots of colour and interest in the garden.

watering
Daylilies should be watered deeply 1-2 times per week, depending on weather conditions. During hot, dry weather, water more frequently, but during cooler weather, reduce watering to every other week. Be sure to water the entire root zone, saturating the soil to a depth of 6-12 inches. If your soil does not absorb water well, water more frequently but with shallower applications. A 2 to 4 inch layer of mulch will help preserve soil moisture.
sunlight
Daylilies require 6-8 hours of sunlight to thrive and bloom on a regular basis. The ideal location for this plant species is a sunny spot that is in partial shade by midday. Morning and late afternoon sun are ideal for this plant, as the bright sunlight during midday can be too intense and may cause the leaves to burn. To maximize the number of blooms of the daylily, it should be placed in the brightest spot possible.
pruning
Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Lady Georgia') require minimal pruning. Due to the late bloom period, pruning should take place in late winter or early spring before the new growth begins. Start by cutting off any dead or dying foliage from the previous season at the base of the plant. If the plant begins to look overgrown, lightly trim away some of the stalks, leaving 3 to 6 basal leaves. Depending on the vigor of the plant, any remaining foliage can also be thinned out by up to 1-third. Avoid trimming the foliage above the basal foliage as this is where the blooms will develop.
