The flower buds, stem tips and leaves are edible, added to soups fresh or dried. Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems: Slugs and snails may damage young leaves. It is generally disease free, however, it is an alternate host for Daylily Rust. Planting this specimen in your garden can lead to the rust spreading to your daylilies.
