Hemerocallis 'Stella Rouge' (PBR)
daylily
The vibrant Hemerocallis 'Stella Rouge' is a compact, fast-growing daylily that brings a bold splash of fiery-red, lily-like blooms to the garden. Known for its repeat flowering from spring through autumn, this low-maintenance variety offers clean, lush foliage and a long-lasting display. Its versatility makes it perfect for borders, mass planting as ground cover, or thriving in containers on patios. Drought-tolerant once established, though benefiting from summer watering, it’s ideal for cottage gardens, perennial beds, or water-wise landscapes, adding consistent beauty with low maintenance.
How to care for Hemerocallis Stella Rouge (PBR):
The Greek term 'hemerocallis' means 'beautiful for a day', and daylilies need regular deadheading to prolong flowering and prevent their unsightly deadheads from dominating the scene. Each stem carries several flowers, so snap off each flower as it fades. When the stem has finished flowering, cut it down to the ground. After the plant has finished flowering altogether, pull out the dead leaves. When the foliage is looking tatty, cut it down to the ground and fresh new growth will appear. Lift and divide every three years in spring to keep the rhizomes vigorous and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant. Water frequently from spring until the buds appear.
