Description

Stella d'Oro Daylily delivers an uplifting burst of vibrant yellow blooms from early to mid-summer. Although each bloom lasts just one day, successive flowering creates a continuous, inspiring splash of color across your landscape. Its compact, clump-forming habit produces slender, textural foliage that remains attractive throughout the season. Perfect for borders or container displays, this daylily brings a refined and modern accent to smaller spaces in Michigan.

General Care

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light daily for the finest blooming.
• Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter to support robust growth.
• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture during the growing season to encourage abundant flowering and a healthy clump.
• Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to help regulate soil temperature and conserve moisture, leaving a small gap around the crown for proper airflow.
• Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks to keep the clump tidy and to promote extended blooming; division every few years rejuvenates the clump for continued performance.

Stella d'Oro Daylily adds a stunning blend of vibrant color and refined texture to Michigan landscapes, making it an inspiring and versatile choice for both borders and container displays.
