3 Red Eyed Stella Daylily Bare Roots | Hemerocallis Hardy Perennial Plants

Red Eyed Stella Daylily is a compact, repeat-blooming Hemerocallis prized for its ruffled golden-yellow petals accented by a distinct red eye. This hardy perennial forms neat clumps of grassy green foliage and produces waves of blooms from early summer into fall, making it a dependable choice for borders, pollinator gardens, and mass plantings. Its modest size and long bloom window make it equally at home in cottage gardens, containers, and along walkways.

Daylilies are among the most forgiving garden perennials, tolerating a range of soils and returning reliably each season. The Red Eyed Stella variety combines the classic Stella de Oro look with added color contrast, drawing bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds while requiring minimal maintenance once established.

Planting & Care

Plant bare root daylilies in spring or fall, setting the crown about 1 inch below the soil surface with the roots spread outward in a hole amended with compost. Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while roots establish.

Once established, daylilies are drought tolerant and need only occasional deep watering during dry spells. Remove spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, and divide crowded clumps every few years to maintain vigor. Apply a light layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the crown.
