My very first daylily. When we sold our last horse, part of the pasture became our yard. Part of that was a 45 degree slope, that I knew my husband was going to kill himself trying to mow. Being quite fond of him, I started a garden there. Bought hundreds of Stella and Pardon Me from Smokey's Daylilies. That was the most economical route at the time. And they grew, and were beautiful. They stopped the soil erosion and blocked the weeds, didn't mind clay or rocky soil, kept my husband from rolling his Cub Cadet, and sure looked pretty from the porch. 2015 we dug up and gave away the majority of them. I still have both tucked here and there, but now I'm eager to try others. Stella's only drawback, as far as I can see, is the amount of dividing I found necessary to keep them healthy and blooming. I love the color and in a large garden it holds it's own. I'll always have both Stella and Pardon Me. Picture is of the beginning of the mass Daylily exodus of 2015. I now have many new ones on the way.
