We had the wettest spring on record last year so my daylilies got plenty of water. When they don't get enough natural rain, I make sure they get at least an inch of water a week, which is what is recommended. I might add that our city water is awful, very chlorinated and nothing watered with it seems to do well. I fertilize with 2 different fertilizers, an osmocote type that is a slow release and milorganite. 95% of my daylilies are in full sun. The only competition my plants would have is I have lots of wild violets growing in amongst the daylilies that I have tried for 3 years to get rid of and it is an impossible task. The only pesticide I have tried that works is a vine and stump remover that you have to paint on each violet individually by hand. It would literally take me all summer to do that with the amount of violets I have. Anyway, I have grown daylilies for 20 plus years and have always fertilized and gave ample water and get very little rebloom. I purchased 2 of Karol's to try, Filled to Overflowing and Heartbeat of Heaven and neither has rebloomed. I have had them at least 4 years. I do set lots of pods on my plants so whether that hinders rebloom or not I do not know.
