| Our experience here at Olallie Daylily Gardens is that the species always seem to strike a chord in people. It may be that with all the fancy ruffles and eyezones of current hybrids, the pure clean lines of the species are particularly appealing.
One area in need of investigation is the use of daylilies in cooking. There has been some research that indicates that different daylily cultivars differ in flavor in many ways. In China the daylilies are used extensively in cooking. The spent blossoms, buds, shoots and even the roots are edible and used in cooking in Asia.
The species featured on this page are later-season bloomers and typically are tall. The miscellaneous species listed are daylilies which we grow that are or could be species. Cultivars such as Tetrinas Daughter are interesting as they are tetraploid deratives of H. citrina.
