Ruby Stella Daylily

Daylilies are wonderfully fragrant flowers, but Ruby Stella just might steal the show in beauty and durability!

The sister of 'Stella de Oro' the deep wine red blooms appear in late spring, emerging from light green buds. The huge, ruffled petals open to reveal the golden yellow light green throats, with long, study antlers protruding. Each petal has a single streak of pink down the center, adding that little extra to each bloom.

The blooms are held on tall stems adorned with grass like leaves that create the mound-like shape of the plant. Reaching just 18 to 20 inches high and 18 to 24 inches wide, this compact clump of flowers is perfect for shrub borders, and perennial gardens. It's also great for those sloping areas, as the strong roots hold against soil erosion.

Durable and drought tolerant, 'Ruby Stella' enjoys regular watering, but is adaptable. The magnificent fragrance will delight your garden, and the butterflies won't be able to resist fluttering around for a drink. Deer generally leave these enticing flowers alone, so you'll be able to enjoy this reblooming beauty for a while!

Daylilies enjoy full sun. Divide every 3 to 5 years, or when the size or number of blooms begins to decline. You'll be delighted with this reblooming perennial for years to come!
