Hemerocallis 'Mini Stella'

Mini Stella Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Mini Stella’ is a compact, reblooming perennial valued for its bright yellow flowers and extended bloom season. Narrow, arching green leaves form a neat, low clump in spring, followed by abundant, small golden-yellow blooms beginning in early summer and continuing intermittently into fall, with each flower lasting a day but produced continuously over time. Its small size and long bloom make it ideal for edging, containers, and mass plantings.
