Hemerocallis Black Eyed Stella'

Black-Eyed Stella

Hemerocallis ‘Black Eyed Stella’ is a compact, reblooming perennial valued for its bright golden-yellow flowers accented by a dark eye zone. Narrow, arching green leaves form a tidy clump in spring, followed by abundant blooms beginning in early summer and continuing intermittently into fall, featuring rich yellow petals highlighted by a contrasting deep maroon to blackish eye and yellow throat, with each flower lasting a day but produced continuously over time. Its bold contrast and long bloom season make it ideal for sunny borders and mass plantings.
