  • Posted by kimkats (Md - Zone 6a) on Dec 12, 2010 2:12 AM concerning plant:
    Heavy bloom with good rebloom.
    Extremely pod fertile in my garden. Will make "bee pods" if you don't dead-head.
    Very fast increaser.
    Easy to find at most mass merchants.
  • Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Oct 4, 2011 3:10 PM concerning plant:
    Black Eyed Stella does not rebloom in my garden although it is listed as a rebloomer. Needs to be deadheaded to prevent setting numerous bee pods. This daylily usually starts out my bloom season somewhere around the 21-24 of June each year.

    This plant was a good bloomer and rebloomer here in zone 8b--one of the earliest to bloom while I had it. Unfortunately, it was very susceptible to rust, so I had to get rid of it.

    Excellent small flowered bloomer and rebloomer.
