daylily

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Little Fantastic') should be watered thoroughly and evenly on a regular basis, typically once or twice a week. Those planted in the ground tend to need less water, while those kept in containers need more consistent watering since the soil tends to dry out more quickly. That being said, the best gauge for when and how much to water the daylilies is to be attentive of the soil moisture level. Stick your finger into the soil up to the second knuckle and if it feels dry, you should begin to water. Once your plants are getting their weekly dose of water, add enough until it is damp down to the bottom of the pot or soil, and then allow the top layer to dry out before watering again. Additionally, be sure to water your daylilies early in the morning or in the evening to avoid losing water to evaporation.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Little Fantastic') should receive approximately 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth. It may be possible to grow this plant with less direct sunlight if planted in a spot with filtered sunlight for most of the day. However, exposure to direct sunlight is necessary for daylilies to bloom to their full potential.

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Little Fantastic')should be pruned in late summer when the flowers have finished blooming. Begin at the bottom of the stem and remove any dead leaves or stems. Remove the entire top third of the plant, and then prune back the remaining stemsby 1-third. Prune off any roots that have come above the soil surface as well as any whispy or weak stems. Make sure not to prune off too much of the plant, as this can damage the plant and reduce its flowering.
