watering

Tetraploid daylilies should be watered once per week, giving the soil a good soak so that it is moist at least 2-3 inches deep. Watering should be done early in the morning so that the soil has plenty of time to dry out during the day. If temperatures remain above 90 degrees F, it may be necessary to water plants a second time during the week, allowing the soil to dry slightly before doing so. It is important to avoid over-watering daylilies, as they are prone to root rot when their soil remains wet.

sunlight

Tetraploid Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Smooch Hollow') should be grown in a spot that affords plenty of direct sunlight for a minimum of 6 hours per day. The best sunlight conditions for the plant will be full sun (8-10 hours of direct sunlight per day). When grown indoors, a south-facing window will provide the best source of long-term sunlight exposure. In addition, Tetraploid Daylilies can benefit from partial shade during the middle of the day when temperatures are hottest or sunny locations in cooler climates.

pruning

Tetraploid daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Smooch Hollow') should be pruned in early spring. Pruning should involve removing dead flower stalks, leaves, and any crowded or damaged plants. This helps to prevent disease and keep the plants from becoming overcrowded. The best time to prune tetraploid daylilies is between late February and mid-March, so that the new growth and blooms have time to develop before summer. It is important not to prune too severely, as this can leave the plant without enough foliage to sustain itself and produce robust flower heads.
