dwarf yellow daylily

Dwarf yellow daylilies should be watered regularly, with the frequency depending on the season. During the spring and summer months, they should be watered deeply with a hose every 7-10 days, and in hotter climates more often if the soil is dry. During the fall and winter months, the frequency of watering may be reduced to every 14-21 days or whenever the soil feels dry. Be sure to water only when the soil is completely dry, as too much moisture can cause fungal and root rot.

The dwarf yellow daylily (Hemerocallis minor) requires full sun to thrive. It prefers 6-8 hours of direct sunlight a day, especially during the early morning and late afternoon when the sun is not too hot. During the summer months, it may need some shade during the peak hours of midday to prevent leaf burn. For best results, it is advised to give the dwarf yellow daylily some indirect sunlight or partial shade in warmer climates.

Dwarf yellow daylilies (Hemerocallis minor) should be pruned in early spring. To achieve the best blooms later in the season, they should be cut back to 6 or 8 inches with pruning shears. This will encourage the plant to produce multiple shoots from the crown or base, resulting in fuller, larger blooms. As the plants grow, the old bloom stalks can be trimmed to the ground. Be sure to remove any diseased or damaged foliage and dispose of it away from the plants.
