I mentioned on the NOMAD thread that I'd picked some Daylily leaves to eat and JJB was curious.
Hemerocallis/Day lilies are practically 100% edible - leaves, flowers and roots. I have eaten them at all stages, though I wouldn't eat the roots again as I don't like "killing" a perennial plant for its roots. Don't remember being very impressed with them anyway!! They're in my "only if starving" category.
Please don't eat anything unusual unless you are 100% sure you know what it is - these are NOT lilies, some of which are poisonous to humans, cats and dogs! Research it first before you try.
On a more general note, I'm trying to grow more edible flowers in the garden - to me that would be the best of all worlds - beautiful and edible.
If there are any flowers that you regularly eat, please tell us about them.
