Good plant #79 - Hemerocallis 'Stella De Oro'

Another of my favourite dwarf daylilies. If you keep dead-heading, this variety flowers profusely from the end of May right through summer. As it's a dwarf, it's best for the front of the border, especially lining a path.

It prefers a sunny site and fertile soil but will tolerate a little shade. These plants benefit from being propagated by division every three years or so.

I feed them in spring and summer with a multi-purpose liquid feed on the soil around the roots . I also keep the roots moist at all times with regular watering and a mulch to encourage more flowering.
