Stella D' Oro Daylily

I have been working for a couple days now potting up several hundred of these wonderful Daylilies and was thinking you might want to know why I like these daylilies.

The number 1 reason why I like the Stella D’Oro daylily is because it is a rebloomer.  What does that mean?  It will bloom two and most of the time three times throughout a season.  This is unusually for a standard daylily because the original daylilies only bloom once, and then just look ugly the rest of the year (in my opinion).

The old standard daylilies we are all used to seeing are typically seen on the side of the road or on some old farm places.  They are typically that reddish orange color and the bloom will get up to about the 36 inch area.  The Stella plant is yellow in color and will max out around the 20-24 inch area.  This size and color allows this daylily to be an addition to the front of a landscape and can be intertwined with other annual flowers.  It makes a great border plant and will always give you a great show.

This daylily will almost double in size each year as far as how wide the plant is and how many blooms it gets.  I very rarely see a Stella die.  It also doesn’t need much water.  They do better in the full sun, but will tolerate some shade and will still bloom.

I will be shipping these plants all over the country in one gallon pots, if you need one, please let me know.  Oh Yeah…Did I mention I really like these plants?  I use them in 98% of all my new installs.

Happy Stella’s
