Here is the search for hemerocallidaceae, showing a large number of very highly rated edible plants: http://www.pfaf.org/user/search_name.aspx?family=Hemerocallidaceae<br />And the larger lilie family, showing a few highly rated speciments among mostly lower-rated edibles: http://www.pfaf.org/user/search_name.aspx?family=Liliaceae<br /><br />Again, Green Deane seems to urge caution on all of these, but I've found PFAF to generally be a very reliable resource.

There's a whole conti...Thanks for the question! There's a whole continuum of thought on the topic, depending on how adventurous you're feeling. On one end, Plants For A Future lists the whole hemerocallis genus as edible and choice, and I do not doubt that Ken Fern had direct experience in eating all of them. I myself have tried quite a few without incident, though I found Hemerocallis fulva to be a stand out, especially the flowers and roots. http://www.pfaf.org/user/cmspage.aspx?pageid=63 On the more cautious end, Green Deane says that the whole genus, with the exception of the roadside orange-colored herocallis fulva need be treated with care and assumed poisonous. His reasoning is that there are poisonous species in the family, and that we do not know what breeders used to produce hybrid variations, and that poison-producing genes could have ended up in species previously used for food. http://www.eattheweeds.com/daylily-just-cloning-around-2/ <br /><br />The same spectrum of opinions surrounds other lily plants, too, such as asiatic lilies, tiger lilies, and the easter lily, etc. with PFAF listing them all as choice edibles with "no known hazards" and others expressing caution following Green Deane's logic. I've eaten small amounts of both and again, I'm still kickin'. <br /><br />But, of course, use your own judgement and caution, and don't take my experience as a recommendation. Different people react differently to food. <br /><br />Michael Hoaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728642724953659658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416923201642990454.post-82547474935175720002016-05-04T18:46:28.981-05:002016-05-04T18:46:28.981-05:00I want to plant some daylilies this year- do you k...I want to plant some daylilies this year- do you know if all types are edible, or if it's just Hemerocallis fulva?<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14488365424349201351noreply@blogger.com
