Day lilly
by
Bj
I have this day lilly plant, a few years ago it had beautiful blooms the color of canaloupe
the past two years the leaves have turned bown, it had several stalks of buds but the flowers didn't produce it seems like they just dried up. I tried only watering once in a while
because the lilies you see at shopping malls always look bright and green I don't imagine they get much water. any help would be appreciated thanks

Your daylily probably needs more water than it is getting. While they tolerate somewhat dry soils, they like moderate moisture, especially so at bloom time. You might want to check out this guide to growing daylilies from Purdue University: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/ext/HO-16.pdf

thank you for the advise,I was told once established they don't require much water. Last year I watered every day so this year I thought I would water less, same results dried up flowers.
