The Stella D Oro Daylily... a popular one-day bloomer and a great re-bloomer...

About the Stella D Oro Daylily

The Stella D Oro Daylily is by far the longest re-blooming daylily. Mine starts blooming in June and don't stop until the end of September or until the first hard frost. I plant them in every corner of my flowerbed gardens as they always provide color and greenery when other perennials fade into the sunset.

I also planted the Stella on my peninsula garden among the Virgina Creeper, grasses, Astilbe and Golden Elder shrub. Because it is a smaller size, this daylily is perfect to tuck into those bare spots in the flowerbed.

How To Grow The Stella D'Oro Daylily

There is not too much that can go wrong when planting the Stella. It does prefer full sun but will tolerate a part sun location. Stella is not fussy on soil type be it clay, sand or normal, but does like it well-drained.

This repeat bloomer forms a compact, dense clump of grassy green foliage with upright stems of fragrant, golden yellow ruffled flowers. Each flower lasts at least 6 hours a day. I pick off the spent flowers for looks and no other reason.

Dividing is not necessary for a few years. Once the blooms become sparse, dividing can be done in early spring or fall.

You can plant them in mass or plant them in containers. This daylily would also be great planted along a ponds edge. Try planting them along a garden walkway for a dramatic effect.

Plant the Stella if you have an issue with deer or have deer damage.

Great companion plants: Coreopsis Moonbeam, Little Business Daylily, or Loosestrife Firecracker.
