Daylilies like sun and water. We water deeply once a week through August and September. The amount of sun and water will affect rebloom. I mark all of the plants in the catalog that rebloom for me, but you will not get rebloom unless your daylilies are planted in the sun and you water. Use only low nitrogen fertilizer, or you grow more leaves than flowers, in very early spring and again after the main bloom time. I feed the roots with triple 12 in the fall at the same time and for the same reason you fertilize grass in the fall.
