watering
Daylilies should be watered deeply to encourage a strong root system. During the spring and summer, water daylilies 1-2 times each week depending on temperature and rainfall. During hot, dry weather, water daylilies at least once a week, preferably in the morning. Water them until the soil is consistently moist 8-10 inches deep. During the fall and winter months, water daylilies about once every 3-4 weeks, depending on temperature and rainfall. To check for moisture, use your finger to dig an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, it's time to water.
sunlight
Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Swirling Water') require full sun to partial shade for optimal flowering and growth. For best results, they should have 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight per day. It is important to give them shade in the afternoon when the sun is hottest. In an area with very warm summers, it may be beneficial to provide some afternoon shade to prevent the foliage from scorching.
pruning
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Swirling Water') should be pruned in late spring following blooming, around late May or early June. Pruning should be kept to a minimum; remove spent blooms and foliage as needed, but avoid taking off too much of the foliage, as this can weaken the plant. Cut back excess leaves and stems to 1–2 inches above the ground. Additionally, it is best to wait until the plant shows signs of new growth to begin pruning.
