Companion Daylilies for Stella de Oro: Colorful Alternatives

A gardener asked for non-yellow daylily varieties with similar traits to complement a long front walkway planting of golden Stella de Oro.

Suggested Varieties

Gill recommended several evergreen or semi-evergreen daylilies for year-round foliage interest: 'Francis Joiner' (double pink/orange), 'Catherine Woodbery' (light pink with ruffled edge), 'Mauna Loa' (lavender-blue with yellow throat), 'Prairie Blue Eyes' (lavender-blue with yellow throat), 'Scarlet Orbit' (bright red with yellow/green throat), 'Super Purple' (deep purple with lime-green/yellow throat). She noted yellow pairs strikingly with lavender, while purple and red pop against yellow.

Mixing colors creates a dynamic walkway display beyond monochromatic yellow.
