Description

The 'Mini Stella' Daylily is a beautiful miniature with very bright yellow flowers and a delightful fragrance. It is as floriferous and repeat flowering as its famous big sister 'Stella de Oro'. Its petals have a perfect texture, and its corollas remain open until after sunset, wilting only the following day. A reliable variety with good longevity, suitable for all gardens!

 

The genus Hemerocallis belongs to the Liliaceae family. The 'Mini Stella' variety forms a clump that will reach a height of 30 to 35 cm (12 to 14in), with a spread of 30 cm (12in). The flowers, fragrant and of a pretty, cheerful and bright colour, measure 6 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter. They last only a day but continuously bloom from May to October. The flowering occurs at the end of slender stems that overhang a linear, bright green, deciduous foliage. Daylilies are plants with short rhizomes and fleshy roots.

 

 

We don't know of a more floriferous daylily variety than 'Stella de Oro', except for the tiny 'Mini Stella'. Countless varieties derived from the Hemerocallis genus are wonderful perennial plants for borders, small flower beds, and balconies. The smaller ones (30 cm (12in) tall) can be planted in clumps in a rock garden. The larger ones blend wonderfully with other perennials in flower beds. Daylilies are surprisingly underused as cut flowers, even though they produce new blossoms all summer. All summer bulbs can be planted alongside them. Gladioli find excellent natural support in this clump-forming plant; no staking is necessary. The same goes for lilies with their subtly shaped flowers. Of course, all garden plants are welcome, especially grasses, with their flexible and light habit. Large pots or wooden boxes with a minimum depth of 30 cm (12in) should be used on a balcony or patio, and dwarf varieties should be used in this case.

 

The name 'Hemerocallis' comes from the Greek words hemero: one day and kallo: beauty. It can, therefore, poetically be called the "beauty of a day". Many varieties have been developed in Japan, where it is very popular.

Planting and care

Of very easy cultivation, the daylily 'Mini Stella' is resistant to parasites and diseases, so there is no need to treat it. These plants thrive equally well in shade as in sunlight: 4 to 5 hours of daily sunshine is sufficient. Plant them in good ordinary garden soil that does not retain water permanently, especially in winter. They will quickly prosper, spreading without inhibition. Planting them between September and April is preferable, burying the collar 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) below the surface. Arranging the roots on a small mound of fine, light soil is advised. The average planting distance between two plants is 60 cm (24in). During the first two months after planting, it is good to keep the soil moist. Afterwards, daylilies no longer require care, except for cutting back the faded stems to ground level. Apply a bit of complete fertiliser at the beginning of spring. Feel free to divide the clumps every four or five years if they have grown larger, preferably in autumn, after flowering. The daylily is often called "the perfect perennial plant" because of its vibrant colours and its ability to tolerate drought and thrive in many different climatic zones while requiring little maintenance.
