Hemerocallis ‘Stella in Red’

Ruby Red Blooms by the Many DozenA tireless rebloomer, it lives up to the famous name.

You would expect any Daylily with ‘Stella’ in its name to have something to say for itself when it comes to bloom strength, but ‘Stella in Red’ has surprised even the most jaded gardeners with its floriferousness. A constant rebloomer all summer long (and into fall in some climates), this very compact plant also sports a rich, deep shade of red almost unknown elsewhere in the Daylily family.These blooms are so richly colored they appear to glow, and they shade to nearly black at the base and tips — astonishing for a Daylily.

They begin in early summer and continue without fail all season long on plants just 18 inches high and 16 inches wide. Of course this is the perfect companion to ‘Stella de Oro’ — even the size is a good match! — but it also makes a gleaming jewel of a planting in any setting, large or small, on its own. Try it beside the blazing driveway, along the backyard fence, winding through the sunny perennial garden, or outlining a path. The color is fade-proof, the growth robust, and the budding very, very heavy. You just can’t go wrong with this little powerhouse!Daylilies are among the easiest of all perennials to grow, withstanding heat, humidity, poor soil, drought, and cold effortlessly. They don’t mind a bit of neglect, and even spread over time, so that you can divide them every few years for plenty more color. Treat yourself to the nonstop blooms and rich color of ‘Stella in Red’.
