About Stella de Oro Daylily
Stella de Oro Daylily was one of the first widely available reblooming daylily cultivars and remains among the most planted perennials in American landscapes for good reason: it produces bright golden-yellow flowers almost continuously from late spring through fall rather than the two-to-three week bloom window of older daylily varieties. It stays compact at just 1-1.5 feet tall and wide, forming a tidy grass-like clump that works well as a border edging or mass planting along a Lawrenceville driveway or walkway. It is extremely tough and adaptable, tolerating Georgia's clay soil, heat, humidity, and drought with almost no maintenance once established, and each individual flower lasts only a day (hence 'daylily') but the plant produces so many buds in succession that bloom coverage looks continuous. Division every 3-4 years keeps clumps vigorous and can be used to propagate additional plants elsewhere in the garden. Deer do browse daylily foliage and flower buds, so protection may be needed in areas with heavy deer pressure.

Planting Instructions & Regional Tips
Plant Stella de Oro Daylily in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil; it tolerates Georgia clay without heavy amendment. Space plants 1-1.5 feet apart for a solid border or mass planting. Water regularly the first season; established plants are quite drought tolerant. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor and increase the planting.

Stella de Oro Daylily FAQs
How long does Stella de Oro Daylily bloom?
Stella de Oro Daylily blooms nearly continuously from late spring through fall, one of the longest bloom seasons of any perennial daylily, because it produces a steady succession of buds even though each individual flower lasts only a single day. This repeat-blooming trait is what made it one of the most popular daylily cultivars ever introduced.
Do deer eat Stella de Oro Daylily?
Yes, Stella de Oro Daylily is not considered deer resistant and can be browsed by deer, especially newly planted specimens. In Gwinnett County areas with heavy deer pressure, fencing or repellent application is worth considering until the plant is well established.
