Hemerocallis 'Stella de Oro' (yellow)

The beloved 'Stella de Oro' is a top-selling, compact, reblooming daylily prized for its incredibly long season of cheerful, golden-yellow flowers. This hardy perennial forms a dense, grass-like clump of foliage, perfect for mass plantings, borders, edging, or container gardens. It's a workhorse in the landscape, requiring minimal care to provide reliable color from late spring through fall, with peak blooms in early to midsummer. Plant in full sun for best flowering; it adapts to various soils and is drought-tolerant once established.

For best results, plant 'Stella de Oro' in a location with full sun (at least 6 hours daily). It adapts to a wide range of soil types but prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to form a solid border or ground cover. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, it is quite drought-tolerant. Remove spent flower scapes (stalks) after blooming to encourage reblooming. In late fall or early spring, old foliage can be trimmed back to the ground to make way for fresh growth.
