This week's topic comes from CassHigh.

Casshigh said:I would like to know more about watering daylilies. How do you water? How much? What time of the day? How often during the growing season? When do you start watering? Do you water the same amount throughout the spring, summer, and fall? I know all this depends on how much rain is received. Some of us get an oversupply while some of us get very little with the rest somewhere in between. Most growers water in the spring and when the daylilies are blooming, but what about when the daylilies are finished blooming in the summer and fall.

I have a well. I only water when I put in new plants, have small seedlings or we have little or no rain for 3-4 weeks. Plus, I don't have an irrigation "system" so I stand with hose in hand, watering individually. But I think I use less water that way.

Curt Hanson waters nearly every night during the summer. He made this large pond for irrigation. I envy that he can water so much! Daylilies here have to be a little tougher than they do for other people.
