How big do Stella daylilies get?

Stella D’Oro Reblooming Daylilies (Hemerocallis Stella D’Oro) are known for their compact size and are perfect for small gardens or containers. They typically grow to a height of 10-12 inches, making them ideal for the front of borders or along pathways where their vibrant golden-yellow flowers can be appreciated up close. The arching grass-like leaves add a touch of elegance to the overall appearance of the plant.

In my experience, Stella D’Oro daylilies can form dense clumps over time, with multiple stems emerging from the base of the plant. This creates a fuller and more visually appealing display in the garden. The clumps can reach a width of around 18-24 inches, providing a nice mass of color when planted in groups.

One of the great advantages of Stella D’Oro daylilies is their long blooming season. They are known as reblooming daylilies, which means they will produce multiple flushes of flowers throughout the summer. Each individual flower lasts for only one day, but the plant continuously produces new blooms to replace the old ones. This extended blooming period adds to the overall impact and attractiveness of the plant in the garden.

If you’re looking to create a stunning display of Stella D’Oro daylilies, I would recommend planting them in groups or clusters. This not only enhances their visual impact but also creates a more natural and dynamic look in the garden. You can space the plants about 12-18 inches apart to allow for their mature width and ensure they have enough room to grow and spread.

When it comes to caring for Stella D’Oro daylilies, they are relatively low-maintenance. They prefer full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. Regular watering during dry periods and occasional fertilization will help promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Deadheading spent flowers will not only keep the plant looking neat but also encourage more blooms to develop.

Stella D’Oro daylilies are a fantastic choice for gardeners looking for a compact, easy-care perennial that provides a long-lasting display of golden-yellow flowers. Their manageable size, extended blooming period, and attractive foliage make them a versatile addition to any garden or landscape.
