The bud (before the plant flowers) is edible raw. And it's quite tasty. Those common orange daylilies can also be eaten! The bud (before the plant flowers) is edible raw. And it’s quite tasty.

They have complained to the town siting this as the cause of their problems & we now have to remove them. would love to hear from anyone who is a drainage expert for this sounds ludacrous to anyone we've mentioned this to. This ditch is also bone dry during the summer & fall & really may have a couple of inches in the spring if we get an early thaw.

In rural areas where the ditches are up to several feet deep, ditch lilies are a great way to fill the ditch and keep down the weeds so you don't have to mow those deep ditches. And because they come back from just a few tubers, when the township re-digs the ditches, the ditch lilies will come back. The tubers are also edible. When I was a kid, we use to dig up the tubers and bake them tossed in butter. Yum! Ditch lilies also make a great option for, well, ditches.

I had one of those neighbors a few years ago. Their neglected yard was full of Foxtails. My dog got one lodged up her nose that had to be surgically removed. Good luck with your Ditch Lilly's.
