Daylily ‘Stella d’Oro’

Daylilies are herbaceous, clump forming, perennials. Most flowers bloom for a day, but there are several buds on each scape (leafless stalk). Dormant daylilies die back completely in winter.

The best location is in full morning sun and full afternoon shade. Daylilies do not like wet, soggy soil. They perform best when planted in raised beds rich in organic material. Plant them only to the base of the crown. Do not plant deeper than where the plant is green. Remove old blooms gently. Cut the foliage after it dies to the ground in late fall or early winter. Daylilies should be divided every three to five years.

Daylily rust is common. Rabbit resistant.

• Toxic for cats but not dogs.
