A daylily is a flowering plant in the genus Hemerocallis /ˌhɛmᵻroʊˈkælɪs/. Gardening enthusiasts and professional horticulturalists have long bred daylily species for their attractive flowers. Thousands of cultivarshave been registered by local and international Hemerocallis societies. Hemerocallis is now placed in familyXanthorrhoeaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae, but used to be part of Liliaceae (which includes true lilies).
Daylilies are perennial plants, whose name alludes to the flowers which typically last no more than 24 hours. The flowers of most species open in early morning and wither during the following night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape (flower stalk) the next day. Some species are night-blooming. Daylilies are not commonly used as cut flowers for formal flower arranging, yet they make good cut flowers otherwise as new flowers continue to open on cut stems over several days.
Hemerocallis is native to Eurasia, including China, Korea, and Japan, and this genus is popular worldwide because of the showy flowers and hardiness of many kinds. There are over 60,000 registered cultivars.
The flowers of Hemerocallis citrina are edible and are used in Chinese cuisine. They are sold (fresh or dried) inAsian markets as gum jum or golden needles (金针 in Chinese; pinyin: jīn zhēn) or yellow flower vegetables (黃花菜 in Chinese; pinyin: huáng huā cài). They are used in hot and sour soup, daylily soup (金針花湯), Buddha's delight. The young green leaves and the rhizomes of some (but not all species are also edible.
