Hemerocallis 'Stella Citron' (PBR)
daylily
With its compact habit and vibrant, sunny yellow lily-like flowers, Hemerocallis 'Stella Citron' is a standout for a sunny spot whether as a luxuriant perennial border plant or specimen for patio pots. This fast-growing, repeat-flowering daylily blooms in both spring and autumn, offering a long season of colour. Its clean, tidy foliage pairs beautifully with the abundant blooms, making it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, or as showy ground cover.
How to care for Hemerocallis Stella Citron (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.
