In this TN Nursery video, the presenter introduces the Stella d'Oro daylily, a lemon‑yellow, funnel‑shaped cultivar with ruffled edges and a deep, fragrant throat. The flowers open for a single day, measuring about 2.75 inches across, and reach full bloom in late spring to early summer, with the most striking display from early fall through early spring. The plant attracts butterflies and hummingbirds with its intense scent and vivid color. It grows on a naked stem with strap‑like leaves, tolerates 2–3 weeks of drought but performs best with consistent ground‑level watering and well‑draining soil. Slow‑release granular fertilizer is recommended to accelerate growth. Unlike many daylilies, Stella d'Oro can be divided in fall or early spring; the video suggests mass planting or hand‑splitting root clumps for container or mixed‑bed planting. Finally, the cultivar is offered for sale through Tennessee Wholesale Nursery, emphasizing low prices and fast shipping.

Welcome to TN Nursery YouTube channel. Today let's talk about Stella d'Oro daylily. Stella d'Oro daylily, early fall to early spring seems the best time to enjoy the highest beauty of this cultivar. Such hybridizing daylilies emerge in various colors, shapes, and patterns, while yellow dominates. The flowers are funnel-shaped with ruffled edges and more bottomless throats, observed in full bloom during late spring and early summer, that attract butterflies and hummingbirds through intense fragrance and deep attractive color. Grown on the naked stem having strap-like leaves. A single flower remains open for a day with 2.75 inches wide bloom. These plants survive 2 to 3 weeks in drought with reduced flowering. At the same time, rainfall and irrigation benefit facilitative growth, providing a suitable amount of water that ensures ground-level soaking rather than above-root sprinkling. Other than the right soil conditions, the use of slow granular fertilizer can speed up the growth rate. Unlike other plants that don't undergo division for several years, Stella d'Oro daylily splits in fall or early spring. Mass planting of these species is the best option to enhance the beauty of your garden. Splitting root clumps by hand is another option for replanting in mixed containers or tubs. Stella d'Oro daylily is for sale at Tennessee Wholesale Nursery, with low prices and fast shipping. Thanks for watching!
