This everblooming daylily offers a continuous display of vibrant color from late spring through fall, making it a must-have for any garden. Its compact size and easy-care nature make it perfect for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike.
'Stella de Oro' is a dwarf, reblooming daylily known for its abundant, trumpet-shaped, golden yellow flowers with a subtle, sweet fragrance.

Planting:
- Timing: Plant in spring or fall for best results.
- Location: Choose a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Daylilies thrive in locations that receive at least 6 hours of sunlight, but in very hot climates, some afternoon shade is beneficial.
- Soil Preparation: Amend the soil with compost or other organic matter to improve drainage and fertility.
- Planting Depth: Plant the crown (where the roots meet the foliage) at the same depth as it was in the container. Avoid planting too deeply.
- Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate growth.
- Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and regularly until it is established.
Care:
- Watering: Once established, 'Stella de Oro' is relatively drought-tolerant, but it will bloom best with consistent moisture. Water deeply during prolonged dry spells.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote vigorous growth and abundant blooming. Avoid over-fertilizing.
- Deadheading: While not strictly necessary, removing spent flowers (deadheading) can improve the plant's appearance and prevent the formation of seed pods, which can divert energy from flower production.
- Dividing: Divide clumps every 3-5 years to prevent overcrowding and rejuvenate the plant. This is best done in spring or fall.
- Pest and Disease Control: 'Stella de Oro' is generally pest and disease resistant. However, watch for common garden pests like aphids or slugs.
Uses in the Garden:
- Borders and Edging: Its compact size makes it ideal for edging pathways and flower beds.
- Mass Plantings: Plant in groups for a stunning display of vibrant yellow.
- Containers: It is an excellent choice for container gardening, adding a pop of color to patios and balconies.
- Mixed Borders: Combines beautifully with other perennials and shrubs.
- Focal Point: The bright yellow blooms can serve as a focal point in a smaller garden.

Other Details
The most important part of the plant is its root system. Healthy roots are the foundation of a healthy, vibrant plant. The type of plug container used is based on the specific needs of the plants. Perennials offered as bare root traditionally perform better when planted as bare root.Planted in a specialized mix, potted plants have well established root systems. Top growth stage will vary depending on the current life cycle and time of year when shipped. In Winter and early Spring dormant plants may be shipped. Dormant plants may be planted right away, even before the last frost date.
Most bare root varieties are field grown for at least one season, though Hemerocallis and Hosta are grown for two seasons. The bulk of the soil is removed during the harvesting process and the tops of most varieties are trimmed back to the crown. They are graded, packed in shredded aspen or sphagnum moss and stored in freezers until ready to be shipped.
See our Container Sizes and Bare Root Perennials pages for more information.
Plant information and care is provided in the Overview section, Plant Genus Page and general information is provided in the Planting Care & Guides. Additional questions can be asked on each Plant page.
Plant Spacing: Using the maximum mature spread or width of a plant to guide spacing, ensures space to grow to full size. To fill an area sooner, plant them closer together. Just remember, future thinning or transplanting may be needed.
Water: Keep a close eye on newly planted perennials, especially throughout the first growing year. Most early plant loss is due to too much or too little water!
