This selection of the classic Stella d'Oro daylily has golden yellow petals surrounding an intense orange eye. It grows about 2 feet tall, with long strappy grass-like foliage. Trumpet shaped flowers bloom in spring and summer, lasting only 1 day.

Grow in well drained soil in full sun to a little shade. The ideal soil is a loam-sand or clay-loam soil, though daylilies are very adaptive. Avoid overhead watering, as that can cause spots on the flowers, or cause them to wilt. As flowers along the scape are spent, you can break them off to keep a tidier appearance, or simply remove the entire scape after flowering is completed. Remove old foliage and any remaining scapes in late winter to early spring, as new foliage emerges. Very heat tolerant. Though moderately drought tolerant, adequate watering during the spring when buds are forming is essential to vigorous summer flowering. Daylilies are discribed as being early-, mid-, or late bloomers and refers to when they bloom compared to other daylilies. Generally, daylily season is June through August, so early is usually around June, mid is July, and late is August. 'Rebloomers' usually have a primery bloom, followed by intermittant blooming the remainder of the season.
