Daylily Stella De Oro

Daylily 'Stella De Oro'

Daylily Stella De Oro is a beloved perennial prized for its compact size, continuous flowering, and vibrant golden-yellow blooms. Unlike many daylilies that bloom only briefly, Stella De Oro produces multiple blooms over an extended period, providing a steady display of cheerful color throughout the summer months. Its petite stature and tidy foliage make it ideal for garden borders, rock gardens, and containers, while its prolific blooming habit creates striking mass plantings that light up any landscape.

This cultivar is particularly favored for its resilience and ease of care. Stella De Oro adapts well to a range of soil types and tolerates both heat and drought better than many other daylilies. Its low-maintenance nature, combined with consistent flowering, makes it suitable for gardeners of all skill levels. Pair it with other perennials in contrasting colors or use it as a cheerful foundation plant to add structure and brightness to garden beds. Its long-lasting, vibrant flowers and compact growth habit make it a versatile choice for both formal and casual garden designs.
