Stella de Oro Daylily

Hemerocallis 'Stella de Oro'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Liliaceae
Plant Description: Tall herbaceous perennial with bright yellow summer-blooming flowers on tall talks. This cultivar is one of the most popular. Foliage is long and drooping with grasslike blades about 1 inch wide. Easily grown in a wide range of conditions. As suggested by the name, flowers last one day but are produced over a long period of time. Divide every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
