Stella Dora Plants
 

I have stella dora plants that have quit blooming, turning
brown and drooping. What should I do or what could be attacking them?

I have been treating other plants with a slug and snail killer.

Thanks

Bill Smith

If you are referring to the daylily of that name, what you are experiencing
is normal. They emerge in early spring and then bloom heavily for about a
month in late spring to early summer. After the first bloom they tend to
set seeds and decline. I try to remove the seeds as they develop. I put
some fertilizer on them in the early spring and again after they bloom.
Mine have started to boom again. The subsequent bloom is significantly more
sparse than the initial bloom. The foliage starts to decline also. By
fall, much of the foliage has turned brown. I have about thirty large
clumps of them that line a walkway. They need to be divided but the job
seem daunting and I would have to find new locations for the divisions.
Maybe next year!

Try "Stella D'Oro" Daylilies instead.

There are no daylilies with that name.

I am not speaking of day lilies. I know that they have a short bloom
period. The ones I mean are in bloom all summer and a smaller plant.
They are referred to as Stella Dora. They have yellow flowers and
almost look like a smaller version of the common daylily.

I know what a daylily is. What I am referring to is the smaller
version of the same type of plant. It is supposed to bloom all
summer. It looks very much like the larger daylily. I know the
larger one only blooms for a couple of weeks and dies off. Actually
any version of this plant is very easy to transplant. Very hardy.

The stella dora is not a daylily. It looks like a smaller version of
the daylily and is supposed to bloom all summer.

You are probably correct with the spelling but I need to know what to
do for the problem.

If you are talking about this plant, it IS a daylily:
http://plantsdatabase.com/go/2653/

It is a re-blooming variety. The hype says that it blooms all summer. I
suppose it does is some yard somewhere. It is used by the tens of thousands
in landscapes here in SW Ohio. It blooms heavily for about three week with
a few flower before and following the primary bloom. That extend the three
weeks to four or five. It rests for about three weeks and then you will see
sporadic flowers for the rest of the summer. If you deadhead, the
re-blooming will be a little heavier. Daylilies tend to decline after they
bloom and this one in no exception. You simply can't believe everything
printed on nursery labels. I saw a tag on Oenothera fruticosa today that
said it boomed all summer - and it doesn't.

You can see a small sample of the ones that I have in the link below.
