watering

Tetraploid daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Strawberry Rose') should be watered at least twice a week. In spring and summer, the plants need more water, about 1 to 1.5 inches per week. In fall and winter, the plants can tolerate a little less water, approximately 0.5 to 1 inch per week. For optimal growth, water daylilies deeply and thoroughly. Soak the soil until it is saturated. Water in the morning to allow the foliage plenty of time to dry out before nightfall. This will prevent moisture from increasing the risk of fungal diseases.

sunlight

Tetraploid daylily (Hemerocallis 'Strawberry Rose') grows best when placed in an area that receives full sun for 6-8 hours each day. During the hottest hours of the day, it may benefit from some afternoon shade. It is important that the area in which the plant grows drains properly. Too much water can cause its roots to rot and can lead to leaf discoloration and loss of foliage. The plant should also be fertilized regularly with an all-purpose fertilizer.

pruning

Tetraploid daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Strawberry Rose') require regular pruning to maintain their attractive appearance. Prune these perennials in late winter or early spring, right before new growth begins. Cut back old, dead flower stalks, and leave the foliage to die back naturally. Cut off any foliage that has yellowed or browned over the growing season. To increase flowering the following season, lightly pinch the tips of the stems in June. Finally, every 2 to 3 years, divide the plants to rejuvenate them and promote neat clumps.
