Hello Les %26 Jill

There is a huge variety of Daylilies (Hemerocallis), but the majority of them seem to come in various shades of yellow.  I have assumed that as you already have the golden yellow Stella de Ora, you are not looking for another yellow flower?

So here are just a few you might consider:

H. 'Francis Joiner:  Evergreen.  Double pink/orange flowers.

H. 'Catherine Woodbery': Evergreen.  Single light pink flowers with a light green throat, and a ruffled edge to the petals.

H. 'Manunna Loa':  Semi evergreen.  Lavender blue flowers with a yellow throat.

H. 'Prairie Blue Eyes':  Semi evergreen.  Lavender blue flowers with a yellow throat.

H. 'Scarlet Orbit':  Semi evergreen.  Bright red flowers with a yellow and green throat.

H. 'Super Purple':  Semi evergreen.  Deep purple flowers with lime green and yellow throat.

I have only listed evergreen and semi-evergreen varieties here so that your walkway will have color even in the dormant period of growth.

You may feel that those with a pinkish flower might get lost among the bright yellow of the Stella de Oro, but I included them so that you at least have the choice!

Yellow and lavender make a striking contrast and the purple and red examples will really sing out placed next to yellow - you could, of course, mix and match for a real show stopping display and I hope I have given you some varieties which will give your imagination a 'zing'.
