watering

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Raspberry Pixie') should be watered deeply 1-2 times a week, depending on the time of year and the weather. During warmer, dry periods they may need to be watered more often, while during cooler or wetter seasons they may need less water. Make sure to water the plant until water runs out of the drainage holes in the pot. Allow the soil to dry out in between waterings. Avoid over-watering or allowing the soil to stay soggy as this can cause root rot.

sunlight

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Raspberry Pixie') need between 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. This species of daylily, which is a popular variety cultivated in many parts of the world, prefers to receive sunlight early in the day and late in the afternoon, as opposed to full afternoon sun. This plant may scorch in the hot, direct sunlight of the midday hours. To ensure that the 'Raspberry Pixie' daylily is thriving, keep it in a sunny spot that is protected from the midday sun.

pruning

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Raspberry Pixie') should be pruned twice a year for optimal plant health and appearance. Prune in late spring (right after flowering) and late summer (usually August). When pruning in late spring, remove spent flower stems and remove any damaged tissue on the foliage or slugs. Also, remove any dead foliage or stems that have been damaged by frost. At this time, divide and replant any overcrowded clumps and add mulch around the plants. When pruning in late summer, cut back foliage that has become damaged or discoloured by the summer heat. This will encourage new growth that will be more resistant to frost damage later on. Make sure to fertilize the plants after pruning. Following these pruning steps twice a year will ensure a beautiful, healthy Daylily 'Raspberry Pixie' for years to come.
