Description

The most popular daylily around has 2.5" diameter, sunny yellow blooms that appear during summer. This perennial may reach an overall height of 2.5' tall. Encourage more blooming by removing spent flowers; this daylily may rest and rebloom up to 4 times, depending on conditions. Foliage is deciduous and attractive. New leaves appear in spring. This plant does best in areas with cool winters. It does not do well in coastal Southern California or Florida. It tolerates full sun but will appreciate afternoon shade in warm, inland areas. It does best with regular watering and more during hot spells. Established plants need only occasional watering. 'Stella de Oro' prefers well draining soil and a thick layer of mulch around the plants.

Water Saving Tip:

Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
