Fertilising a Hemerocallis 'Stella de Oro'
When it comes to nourishing Hemerocallis 'Stella de Oro', an early spring application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer will kickstart the growing season, providing the nutrients necessary for lush foliage and vibrant blooms. A second application is recommended by early summer to sustain the plant's needs during its peak blooming period. It's important to avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to an overabundance of foliage at the expense of flowers.
To apply, sprinkle the granular fertilizer around the base of the plant, taking care to keep it away from the foliage to prevent burn. Water thoroughly after application to help the nutrients penetrate the soil. Properly fertilized, this evergreen daylily will reward with a prolific display of yellow blooms throughout its flowering months.
