Water:
Evening rainlily requires minimal care and can endure moderate drought, blooming primarily after summer rains. To encourage additional blooming, it can be watered as necessary.
Fertilize:
Your evening rainlily requires no fertilization but may benefit from compost if planted in poor or clay soil. Incorporate compost into the planting hole and apply a 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) layer around the plant each spring for optimal growth.
Pruning:
Evening rainlily features star-shaped blossoms and grass-like leaves, requiring minimal care. Light pruning in early spring removes dead foliage and promotes blooming. Regularly clip spent flowers to encourage new growth, while avoiding heavy pruning to prevent stress. For detailed care, consult trusted horticultural sources.
Propagation:
To propagate evening rainlily, allow it to spread naturally, but it can be divided after blooming and before dormancy. Carefully dig up and separate the bulbs, then replant them immediately, ensuring to water them well.
