| Description | Stella D Oro Daylily (Hemerocallis) was the first of the "repeat bloom" Daylily's to be developed. Extremely popular by both landscapers and home owners. |
|---|---|
| Pronunciation | (hem-er-o-kal-lis) |
| Plant Type | Perennials Hardy |
| Hardiness Zone | 4 |
| Sunlight | full, mostly sunny, some shade |
| Moisture | average |
| Soil & Site | average |
| Flowers | A repeat bloomer with masses of small golden yellow flowers. In my gardens it even tries to bloom late into the fall, but the buds just seem to have trouble opening up in the colder weather. Starts blooming end of June. |
| Leaves | strap like leaves, emerge from a crown just underneath the soil |
| Dimensions | 18-24" tall, equal or greater spread, space 18-24" on center |
| Maintenance | This plant produces so many flower scapes that after the flushes of bloom the dead flower stalks need to be removed, or the clump ends up with a bunch of dead sticks. Removal of the scapes also seems to encourage the production of more flowers. |
| Propagation | division in August through September |
| Author's Notes | This was the first repeat blooming Daylily hybridized. At first the cost of one division was $100, but now it is available at the normal price of a Daylily. At the Prospect Hill Garden center, where I work, it still is one of the most popular Daylily sold. Sort of remarkable since it has been in existence for over 30 years. |
