Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Stella De Oro Daylily fans is straightforward, making them an ideal choice for gardeners of all experience levels. These resilient plants are quite forgiving, but providing optimal conditions will ensure the most abundant and continuous blooms from your golden daylily plants. Proper care will help these compact daylily plants flourish and bring joy to your garden for many years.

For optimal growth and flowering, plant your daylily fans in an area that receives full sun to part shade. Full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily) will encourage the most prolific blooming, while part shade is acceptable, especially in hotter climates where some afternoon shade can prevent scorching. When it comes to soil, these plants are highly adaptable. They thrive in various soil types, including clay, normal, loamy, and sandy soils, as long as there is good drainage. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot, which can be an issue in waterlogged conditions. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage, and sandy soils with compost to enhance water retention. The ideal pH for daylilies is slightly acidic to neutral, between 6.0 and 7.0.

Water regularly, especially during dry periods and during the plant’s establishment phase, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, daylilies are quite drought-tolerant, but consistent moisture will promote better re-blooming. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release granular fertilizer or a liquid feed, and again after the first flush of blooms to encourage re-blooming. Deadheading spent flowers will also promote more blooms and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production. These daylilies are hardy in USDA zones 4-9, tolerating a wide range of temperatures. While generally pest and disease resistant, monitor for common garden pests like aphids or thrips and treat as necessary. This makes the Stella De Oro Daylily an exceptionally low-maintenance and rewarding plant.
