This is the now-famous Daylily that started the race to the re-bloomers. Today, its a national trend, and Stella is the No. 1 Daylily in the country. Many gardeners say their Stella's are in bloom practically all summer and fall. And this is why this variety is planted almost everywhere now--you'll see them in median strips on interstates and in almost all good commercial landscaping, even at gas stations and fast food restaurants. This all tells you that this is a no-maintenance, easy-bloom perennial--what better reasons to add it to your garden!
Stella's are great for edging the front of the garden since they're short compared to others. But that's only the beginning. You'll find plenty of places for them in your garden. Remember, rich golden yellow bloom almost all summer long.
About Daylilies, the most popular perennials: It all started with the original wild orange Daylily. Many Americans think the tough old orange Daylily they see in old gardens and along roadsides is a wildflower, but it really isn't. No Daylily is native to North America; most hail from Asia.
Don't confuse them with the true lilies: Daylilies are not really lilies. In fact, they are quite different. As you know, true lilies grow on tall stems with flowers at the top. Daylily flower stems (called scapes) are generally much shorter, and grow from a fountain of grass-like foliage at ground level. Daylilies are members of the genus, Hemerocallis, not Lilium, which is the genus name of true lilies.
Daylily Roots, not bulbs As all good gardeners know, Daylilies don't grow from bulbs like true lilies. Daylilies form a mass of thickened, fleshy roots. These unique root systems hold so much moisture and nutrients, the plants can survive out of the ground for weeks. This survival system, making them tough, and really easy to handle, is one of the reasons they're so popular today. They're also dependably hardy, so once you have them, you have them for years.
Types of Daylilies for today's gardens: The famous old orange Daylily and the well-known old Lemon Lily are not the only wild Daylilies, just the most famous. There are 20 Daylily species, worldwide. Today from those 20 plants, more than 20,000 hybrids have been created, to satisfy gardeners who love Daylilies, and just cant get enough. Hybridizing Daylilies for various colors and styles is not new. Famous old reliable hybrids like Catherine Woodbury--the lovely lavender and yellow bi-color--have been around for decades.
The re-bloomers for twice the bloom. Today's craze for re-blooming Daylilies all began with Stella D'Oro, the now-famous yellow dwarf Daylily that blooms once during late spring (the regular Daylily blooming season), and then again in late August and into fall. Today, there are hundreds of re-bloomers, from dwarfs to full-size beauties.
The latest and greatest: In any group of highly popular hybrids, there is always something newer and better. Some real break-through successes of new types for their times are Daylilies like Victoria's Secret and Big Smile, with elaborately ruffled petals and clear contrasts of magnificent colors.

"Ordered a bag of 30 tubers along with Gladiator Alliums and Prairie dropseed grass, and planted them in October of '24. The Alliums practically jumped out of the ground this spring, nice and big, and the grass is coming right along. Not a single one of the Daylillies came up, and I was most looking forward to them."
"I love the compact habit of these daylilies - the flowers stay right with the foliage. Very very easy to grow - they take practically no care. Occasionally (every 3-5 years) dig them up and chop them into four of six pieces - give them away or cover a huge area this way."
"My plants are five years old - last spring, I divided them and gave half away. They are healthy and hard to kill, and they flower abundantly I like how compact the flower stalks are - the flowers stay right with the foliage instead of towering above."
"The bulbs were in good shape when I received them and I planted them the next day and in acouple of weeks they were growing."
"Only one of the 3 bulbs has come up out of the ground, which is disappointing. The bulbs looked good when I received them and I planted them according to the directions. A flower bud exists but it's too early for it to bloom at the end of May. I may buy another collection because I would like to see more of these in my garden but I would not buy another collection if the same thing happens."
"I planted these lilies about 20 years ago, & I don't remember where I got them, but I can't praise the plants enough. They're reliably lovely year after year, tolerant of poor conditions, & very low maintenance. One word of caution though: this year for the 1st time the deer ate them, & we have the Ring video proof. A mere 2-3 days after they bloomed, a single deer visited around 3AM & methodically munched every single blossom. So, a word to the wise."
"I planted my Stella D'Oro lilies within hours after they were delivered, following the instructions. Within just a few days there were healthy, green shoots, and then they surprised me by flowering -- which I wasn't expecting until later! Every one of the nine plants I bought has been doing great. I live in north central Florida, and not everything is easy to grow here, especially during this warm time of year, so I am very pleased!"
"The Stella D'Oros ,at arrival, were smaller than expected but after they were planted in May they filled in nicely by August and produced blooms throughout the months. I am looking forward next season."
"I used this variety for a neighbor's backyard planting. I personally prefer "collector" plantings, but I use dependable, proved varieties for neighbors eithout much gardening experience Stella del Oro is exceptional for use where they will not be "coddled"."
"I've planted daylillies all around my garden and landscape and find this particular variety is the easiest to grow and the hardiest. It can handle rainy as well as dry periods. It continues to be the best one of all."
