Daylily - Stella D'Oro
(Hemerocallis)
Perennial


Beauty by day, Daylilies pack amazing color that repeats year after year. The blooms of a Daylily will only last for one day, but don't fret because each stalk will produce up to 12 blooms consecutively. No matter what your color choice is there is sure to be a Daylily for you with over 80,000 different varieties. Every 3 to 5 years you should divide up your Daylilies making it a great opportunity to plant more in your own yard or passing along to friends and neighbors.

HOW TO PLANT

FIND A LOCATION - Daylilies will thrive in both full and partial sunlight.  The location should be well drained to allow the bulbs to blossom.
PLANT IT - One of the most simple plants to plant, simply take a "plug" out of the ground. The hole that you plugged should be twice as deep as the bulb is tall. (Now is the time to add a little bit of bulb fertilizer.) Drop your Daylily bulb in the ground and cover back up with dirt.
WATER IT IN - After you plant your new bulbs you will need to water them in.  They will need water once week until they start to sprout.
ENJOY - Simplicity turns into beauty. They rows of Daylilies that you plant will sure to be an eye catcher come the mid Summer.

**Growing Tip**
Cut Daylilies back to the base of the ground after all of the blooms have fallen and the plant starts to turn brown. By waiting until the plant is brown will allow for it to cycle itself properly through its blooming cycle for the next year.
