Care:

• Water is vital to the success of your daylily garden. Water frequently in spring, when the plants are producing buds and branches, and through the blooming season. However, don't overwater - it's best to provide frequent surface watering.
• After blooming season, foliage can be cut back to 5 or 6 inches.
• Consider mulching in the spring, to assist with moisture retention and weed control.
