Star of Gold - Day Lily

"STELLA!"

That's this day lily's name "Stella de Oro" - Star of Gold.

The blooms only last a day (hence the "day" lily name).  But this particular day lily blooms a lot.  It does need to be deadheaded, including the stem of the blooms.  I need to remember that, because there are two stems that need cutting on mine right now.

It's a compact plant, reaching a height of just 12' with a similar spread, blooming from May-July.  It's a favorite in many yards because of its constant blooming and wide range of planting zones.

Stellas bloom best when in full sun, but they will tolerate shade.  She's such an accommodating lily!
