watering

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Pink Puff') should be watered regularly to encourage healthy growth. As a general rule, they should be watered deeply once or twice each week, providing enough water so that it penetrates the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches. Areas with high humidity or rainfall may require less water, while areas with low humidity or rainfall will require more. During periods of extreme heat or drought, water twice a week. Be careful not to overwater, as it can lead to root rot and other diseases. Be sure to allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

sunlight

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Pink Puff') is best grown in full sun for 6-8 hours per day or more, especially during the peak flowering season which typically lasts 6-8 weeks. Too little sunlight will lead to fewer or less vibrant flowers, and insufficient sunlight can even cause the plants to die. When grown in full sun, daylilies will produce larger, more vibrant flowers and have a longer blooming period.

pruning

For daylily (Hemerocallis 'Pink Puff'), pruning should be done in the late winter before new growth begins. Pruning should take place at ground level, by cutting off the old foliage and flower stalks. This will help remove any diseased or dead foliage and encourage new growth. It is also beneficial to cut back any foliage that is obstructing the flowering stems, as this will help direct more energy to the blooms. When pruning, be sure to use sharp, sterile pruning shears and remove any dead or damaged foliage. Pruning should last no more than a few minutes and can be done by hand or with a pair of shears. After pruning, remember to thoroughly clean the shears to prevent the spread of disease.
