watering
Leopard lilies require regular watering, though it should not be over-done. Water the plants about twice a week during the growing season, but be sure to check the soil routinely and water it only when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. In the autumn season, reduce watering frequency to once a week. During the winter months, it’s best to water the plant only every 2 to 3 weeks, as the cold temperatures will reduce growth and make the plant less thirsty.
sunlight
Leopard lily (Iris domestica 'Hello Yellow') thrive in areas with full sun exposure for at least 5-6 hours per day. Placing these plants in a spot that gets full sun in the morning and partial shade in the afternoon, or full sun throughout the day will give them the ideal amount of light. Without enough sunlight the plant will not flower properly or have a fully developed and vibrant flower. Too much sunlight, however, may scorch the leaves.
pruning
Leopard lily (Iris domestica 'Hello Yellow') should be pruned once a year at the end of the flowering season in late summer or early fall. At this time the foliage should be cut back to a few inches above the ground. Be sure to remove any dead or dying stems and foliage. Re-fertilize and clean up the existing foliage to help it look its best. Cutting back the foliage encourages the plant to form new growth and blooms for next season's flowers.
