PLANT DESCRIPTIONS & FACTS

Hemerocallis 'Black Eyed Stella'

Overall Description

Black Eyed Stella Daylily has a nice bright yellow bloom with a dark orange / red throat. Foliage is a good green color and very grass-like, making a good contrast against the bright yellow flowers. Blooms start in early summer, and extend all the way through till very early fall in most climates. This variety is an excellent re-bloomer, meaning that it is known to produce several "waves" of blooms throughout the summer months, rather then just one heavy bloom period in early summer. Re-blooming can be further increased & encouraged through the removal of old, expired blooms & stalks ( scapes ).
Foliage is semi-evergreen in very warm climates, but will look rather rough during the winter months.........and will go completely dormant in most all climates. We actually suggest trimming, or "mowing" the foliage back to a height of about 5 or 6 inches at the end of the fall season. This way, the foliage can have a fresh, new start when spring rolls around, and will look its absolute best all season long.
Black Eyed Stella is one of the more eye catching daylily varieties we grow, and is perfect for medium sized border plantings. Also looks outstanding in mass plantings.

Deer Resistance Rating: Lowest Resistance [ 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 ] Highest Resistance

Fertilization / Feeding: For maximum health & hardiness, we highly recommend POOPeas for use with all of our daylily varieties. However, either water soluble ( Miracle Gro, or equivalent ), or granular fertilizers ( Holly Tone is excellent ) are also good options. Most any granular fertilizers with a 6-12-12, or 10-10-10 ratio are also acceptable. Best to fertilize in early spring, and again in mid fall - avoid feeding standard chemical fertilizers during hot summer months, and directly after transplanting. POOPeas may be used at anytime.
