Daylily is more than just a beautiful garden flower: it’s a versatile wild edible and perennial vegetable. The plant has long been cultivated for its edible flowers and leaves and has delighted gardeners around the globe for centuries. The tender green shoots, tubers, petals, and floral buds are all edible. I toss the bright petals into salads and use the flower base (reproductive parts stripped away) as an edible cup for yummy herbal goat cheese spreads.

However, it’s important to note that a small percentage of people—perhaps one out of fifty—react with transient gastric distress when they eat daylily, especially raw. Try just a little the first time you eat daylily and if you don't experience any nausea or gastric distress, slowly increase the amount you sample each time. Proper identification is important (as with all wild foods and herbs!) as there are many other species of lily, some of which are also called daylily (that aren't necessarily edible).

If you want to learn more about wild foods and herbs (including daylily), check out our Online Herbal Immersion Program, which is hands-down the most comprehensive distance course on handcrafted herbalism. www.chestnutherbs.com/immersion
