Me: I don’t really get the appeal of the daylily cultivar Stella De Oro; its flowers are so plain and generic of a yellow flower, and its so overrused among daylily cultivars in cityscapes. I really don’t see the appeal when there are more exotic/colourful cultivars.

Stella De Oro: *stays smol and diminutive making it less aggressive than the Fulva hybrids in a mixed perennial flowerbed, and while spotty in predictability it continues to try to rebloom with flowerbud development even in frosty/snowy November*

Me:

Beebalms, Hibiscus, Hemerocallis, and Milkweeds oh my.

Dining on Daylilies

Experimenting with the edible day lily, hemerocallis fulva, which grows wildin most of the US. You can eat the flowers, flower buds, young stalks and tubers.

Wow another old one in drafts, but one I think I still want to post it. Has anyone on the plantblr scene harvested daylilies for food before? H. fulva and some of its very close kin/hybrids I know are supposedly edible.
