watering
Water Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Moontraveller') deeply, twice a week during the warm season. This frequency will allow the soil to remain evenly moist but not wet. It is very important to avoid over-watering Daylilies because it can lead to root rot and decrease blooming. On the other hand, the soil should never dry out too much, as this will cause the foliage to yellow and impair flowering. Watering should be done early in the morning, so that the foliage will get a chance to dry.
sunlight
Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Moontraveller') require a full day of sun to thrive. For best results, they should be planted in an area with 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day during the growing season. During the spring and summer months, when the sun is highest in the sky, daylilies often prefer partial shade. In the winter months, when the sun is lower in the sky, it is often best to provide them with full sun exposure for optimal growth.
pruning
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Moontraveller') should be pruned annually once the blooming season is over, typically in early summer. Begin by removing any dead, diseased, or wilted foliage at the base of the plant. Then, using garden shears, carefully cut back the foliage to within a few inches of the crown of the plant. Depending on the age and overall size of the plant, this should remove about a third of the foliage. Finally, remove any dead foliage or flower bloomstalks near the center of the plant to improve airflow and reduce the potential for disease. Pruning daylilies helps encourage better flowering and healthier foliage.
