About this plant
Hemerocallis 'Stella D'Oro' is a compact daylily known for its small, golden-yellow blooms that appear in early to mid-summer. The flowers have a delicate, ruffled shape and are complemented by a light green throat. Originally introduced in 1975, this cultivar was bred for its exceptional re-blooming habit, continuing to produce flowers well into the fall after its initial flush.
'Stella D'Oro' is known for its resilience and ease of care, contributing to its widespread popularity in gardens and landscapes. Its smaller stature and vibrant blooms make it ideal for borders, containers, or as a low-maintenance ground cover.

Design tip
Summer flowers carry the middle of the season, so place it where the bed needs color once spring bulbs fade. It takes sun or light shade, which makes it useful along the changing light of a bed edge or a partly shaded border.
