Plant Features

Stella de Oro Hemerocallis is the queen of popular daylilies. It offers 3-inch golden-yellow flowers that begin to bloom in early summer and continue to bloom through early fall. The bloom count slows down in the heat of the summer. Daylilies are tough perennials that can survive less than ideal conditions including poor, dry soil, slopes, and planting under Black Walnut trees. Stella de Oro ships as a bare root. We like growing from bare roots because they establish quickly, become twice the size of a potted plant in the first season, and eliminate the need for plastic pots (a win for the environment).

Planting Instructions:

  • - Can be planted anytime the soil temps are at least 50°F

Soil Preparation:

  • - Prefers well-drained soil but tolerates a wide range of soil types

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water thoroughly when first planted, keeping the soil evenly moist
  • - Once established, Hemerocallis is drought-tolerant but performs best with consistent moisture

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring for optimal blooming
  • - Feed again after the first bloom to encourage repeat blooming

Pruning and Training:

  • - Deadhead spent blooms to extend flowering
  • - Cut back the foliage to ground level in late fall to prepare for the next growing season

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Hemerocallis is generally pest-free

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Tolerates temperatures as low as -25°F

Companion Plants for Hemerocallis:

  • - Echinacea: Adds vibrant color and height to pair with Hemerocallis’s blooms
  • - Achillea: Complements Hemerocallis with its delicate flower clusters
  • - Rudbeckia: Provides a bold yellow contrast to Hemerocallis’s blooms
  • - Lavender: Adds a fragrant, low-growing companion that pairs beautifully with Daylilies
  • - Coreopsis: Offers bright yellow flowers that enhance the colors of Hemerocallis

I love these!

The plants were packaged well as usual. All 4 are doing well - one is already blooming even though I didn't expect any of them to until next spring. Beautiful color variation.

Healthy and beautiful!

The Stella de Oro Heerocallis plants arrived in perfect condition. Healthy and moist and safely secured, with room to breathe and expand - no root compaction whatsoever. This is as usual with GrowJoy. There is no better outlet than GrowJoy.
