Black Eyed Stella Daylily Features:
‘Black Eyed Stella’ daylily is a mainstay on our Best Sellers list. Renowned for its excellent rebloom, these small, bright gold blooms appear very early in the season and continue to bloom on and off throughout. An All American selection, ‘Black Eyed Stella’ is known to perform well across the country.
An early season bloomer, we can expect to see these cheery blooms early June in our East Tennessee garden. Thanks to outstanding rebloom, however, we can look forward to seeing it off and on throughout the season. Those to our north will see it a few weeks later than we do. Those to our south typically see it a few weeks before us. Black Eyed Stella is a Semi-Evergreen daylily which means it is a good fit for gardens across the nation PLUS it is an All American Selection which means it has been proven to grow successfully no matter where you live! Basically, you can’t go wrong with Black Eyed Stella in your garden!
Blooms are a bright golden yellow with a contrasting red eyezone; planting it with red daylilies is a natural and beautiful choice. However, Black Eyed Stella also looks outstanding with dark purple or sizzling orange for additional interest. Thanks to its size, it is also an excellent choice for a container. Even if you don’t have a ton of space, you can still have a burst of bright, seasonal color.

WHAT DAYLILIES CAN I GROW: Most of you can grow any of the daylilies we sell. If you live in an area with a sustained cold period like we do in East Tennessee, you can grow all the varieties. However, If you live in an area that doesn’t get freezing weather in the winter (like zones 9 and 10), dormant varieties won’t work for you; you’ll need to choose evergreen or semi-evergreen varieties.
BIG PLANTS! When it comes to daylily plants, bigger is better! All of the plants we ship will be three fans or larger — two or three times (or more) what you might receive from other companies. Larger plants get established faster and bloom more quickly!
FARM-FRESH TO YOU! All of your plants will be freshly dug when you order. The leaves are trimmed and the plants are washed and air-dried. Your daylilies will be out of the ground less than 48 hours before they’re headed your way.
BONUS DAYLILIES: We send free daylilies (we call them “bonus” daylilies) with every order. These daylilies are equal to about 20% of your order, you get to choose what you’d like at checkout.
ABOUT US: Oakes Daylilies is a family-owned daylily farm that’s been in business for three generations. Our daylilies grow in home gardens, city parks and botanical gardens across the nation– including Hawaii and Canada. We are known in the industry as Daylily Experts and grow over 1000 varieties of daylilies on nearly 70 acres in East Tennessee. But over 50 years ago, we started just like you—with one daylily in a home garden.

I love that this lily blooms beautifully and then does it all over again later in the summer. This one is perfect in front of my taller varieties.

Ordered April 7, 2021 and planted a day or two after arrival. Plants had more than one fan per clump. One month in ground and already blooming! I had no expectation of blooms this spring. Plants were packaged well and very green on arrival. I recommend Oakes to everyone.

My plant is in it s second blooming season. The first summer it got very large but never bloomed. It was the first daylily to bloom in its second summer blooming early resting and blooming late when little else is blooming.. The red border on its throat is not as quite as dark as the Oaks photos. This is a great plant for extending the growing season. I do not rate a flower a 5 unless it has spectacular color, size, and blooming habit.

Purchased this daylily in spring, 2019. First year, I was underwhelmed; but this year (2020), she was spectacular, blooming from April and continues to bloom even now in September! This is Zone 10, and this is one beautiful daylily!

I bought 7 of these from Oakes; planted April 2nd, 2015. I had a few blooms on scapes that barely cleared the foliage. Pretty flowers but I was a little underwhelmed and considered replacing them in 2016 with something else. I’m so glad I waited. Each clump I originally planted had doubled in size. All clumps had a minimum of seven scapes growing. By the end of April all the clumps were covered in blossoms with more scapes arising from the base of the fans. All scapes are the size listed in the description, the colors are glorious. The plants are looking a little ragged due to an early hail storm and when I removed a holly tree in the border, several heavy limbs fell on them. Black Eyed Stella is one hardly daylily, definitely consider it if you have a space for smaller plants like a walkway, front of the border, or tucked away between shrubs.

Black-Eyed Stella was the first to bloom in our zone 6B garden, with many scapes and has already rebloomed. As other gardeners, we are always eager for the first of the many daylilies to show their welcome face and BES has always rewarded us. Highly recommended.

This daylily has been fantastic in my North Dakota garden. Very prolific bloomer and a real standout! One of my favorites.

A really prolific, easy to grow beauty. Lights up the whole yard and is full of blooms. In my area it takes a slight rest and then sends out new scapes. I wish all of my plants bloomed this vigorously.

What a gorgeous plant! I planted it in a pot in Oct. ’05 and it bloomed like crazy the first year, starting May 21 2006 and continuing on and off until late Sept. What lovely color, and pretty green foliage. I counted 142 blooms before I finally gave up counting late in the year. This spring, it started on April 2, and has been blooming profusely since then. One of my absolute favorites. I live 55 miles north of San Francisco, 12 miles inland, Sunset Zone 15

When I ordered this daylily two falls ago, I had to divide it into seven multiple-fan plants. The first summer that they bloomed I thought, “Maybe a 6 or 7”. But after 2 falls and springs in the ground, every plant is larger than my original plant. This summer all of the plants are showing off. Wow, this plant is almost as showy as Stella de Ora. The flowers are not as pretty as some of my other daylilies, but this is definitely a must have. I had to only give it a 9 because of the other awesome daylilies that are avalible.

An amazing constant bloomer. If you dont have this one in your North Florida garden, order it this year. Beautiful color from beginning of spring into winter (we have a few that bloom all year round)!

I got this plant last year and it bloomed just in time for my Mother’s birthday! This year it is beautiful. If you hear that it is not dramatically different then the regular “Stella Dora,” don’t be fooled. It is well worth putting in your garden. The plant is a strong preformer, however, as far as, reblooming that will have to wait as this will be the first time it will have a chance to do so.

I waited so long to get these in the ground I was afraid they wouldn’t make it. But they did. A great border along the front walk. Does well for me in summer drought conditions.

I did not find this plant to be in the same category as Stella de Oro in terms of rebloom. A sad disappointment after all the hype about its similarity to its parent. Nor did I find the color to be dramatic enough with its red, not black, eyezone. A very misleading name.
