daylily

Daylily ' Little Baby Mine' should be watered once or twice a week, depending on the weather. During hot, dry, or windy weather, water more frequently. When temperatures are cooler and rainfall heavy water less often. Water the entire root ball system of the plant thoroughly until water runs out from the bottom of the pot. Make sure to water the entire root system evenly. If the soil feels dry, increase the water amount. Too much water can kill the plant, so be careful. Always water the plant with lukewarm or room temperature water during the morning. This will allow the plant to absorb enough moisture before nightfall.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Little Baby Mine') plants prefer a sunny location in the garden. They should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, with 8 to 9 hours preferred. To ensure that the plants remain healthy and are able to flower optimally, they should receive the most gentle morning sun, followed by afternoon dappled shade. When grown in too much sun, the foliage may begin to burn or wilt and the flowering period may be shorter. In colder climates, it is best to protect daylily foliage from winter and early spring sun.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Little Baby Mine') should be pruned after they bloom in the early fall. Pruning should involve removing spent flowers and dead foliage to encourage new growth and a fuller, more colorful bloom in the spring. Cut back the shoots after the flowers wilt, leaving the foliage intact to allow the plant to store up energy for the next season of bloom. It is generally recommended that no more than 1-third of the plant be cut away when pruning for daylilies.
