watering
Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Piggy Tails') require regular moisture. It is best to water the plants in the morning, allowing their foliage to dry during the day. The amount of water depends on the soil type and exposure to sunlight, but generally, daylilies should receive 1-2 inches of water per week. If the soil is sandy, they may require more frequent and deeper watering. If rainfall is insufficient, supplementary watering will be necessary. During periods of extreme heat, increase your watering frequency.
sunlight
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Piggy Tails') prefer to be planted in a spot that receives full sun for 6-8 hours a day; however, they can tolerate partial shade. During the peak of summer, direct sunlight exposure may need to be limited as the intense rays can cause the flowers to wilt and discolor. When newly planted, the young plants should slowly acclimate to full sun exposure as too much too soon can burn the leaves.
pruning
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Piggy Tails') should be pruned once a year in late summer or early fall. The goal is to leave the stalks in place until 4 to 5 weeks after the blooms have disappeared. Old blooms should be removed as they fade to neaten the garden. Leave foliage in place until fall so the plant can absorb needed energy for its winter dormancy. Pruning should consist of removing any foliage or flowers that are dead or damaged, and trimming the plant to the desired height. Removing the roots and any excess stems will also help improve the plant's overall health and bloom production.
