watering
Tetraploid daylilies can be watered regularly during the spring and summer months. The soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged. This means not letting the soil dry out completely in-between waterings. A good rule of thumb is to water the daylilies once a week, providing 1-2 inches of water per week. During the fall and winter months, it’s best to water the daylilies only when the soil is dry.
sunlight
Tetraploid Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Respighi') thrive best in full sunlight and generally require 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day to stay healthy. The ideal time to place the plant in full sun is during the morning hours since this works to ensure that the plants have relief from the heat of the day come midday. It is important to note that the sunshine hours should decrease gradually throughout the growing season into the early fall. In regions where the sun is particularly intense, afternoon shade may be helpful in preventing overheating and burn.
pruning
Tetraploid Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Respighi') should be pruned once a year. Pruning should be done in early spring, after the last frost. Prune off any dead, damaged, or diseased foliage. Re-blooming varieties should also have any spent flowers removed at this time. Remove excess foliage if needed for air circulation and sun penetration into the plant. Pruning can also be done to improve overall shape of the plant.
