daylily

Daylilies require regular watering. The watering frequency should depend on the climate. In hot, dry climates, it is important to water twice a week. In cooler climates, daylilies may only need to be watered once a week. When watering, make sure the soil becomes evenly and thoroughly moist. After watering, allow the top inch or 2 of the soil to dry out before re-watering. Avoid wetting the foliage of the plant, as this can cause disease.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Steeple Jackie') are best when grown in full sun. This species thrives in areas where it gets 8 hours or more of direct sunlight per day. They can tolerate some shade, but will not perform as well if given less than 6 hours of sunlight a day. Ideally, they should be planted in an area that receives full sun all day long. Daylilies are quite resilient and can adapt to a variety of light conditions.

Daylilies should be pruned in late winter or early spring to ensure the healthiest growing environment for the plant. When pruning, it is important to remove any dead, diseased, damaged, or overgrown stems. It is also suggested to remove spent blooms and foliage throughout the season to promote healthier flowers. When pruning, use a pair of sharp, clean pruning shears or scissors to avoid damaging the plant. Pruning should be done lightly, only removing some of the older foliage and stems in order to maintain a full, attractive plant.
