Hemerocallis darrowiana (1 Page of 5) The Hemerocallis darrowiana plant species is found in E. Asia - N. Japan. It is a member of the Hemerocallidaceae family. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Hemerocallis darrowiana Family: Hemerocallidaceae Author: Hu. Known Hazards: Large quantities of the leaves are said to be halucinogenic. Blanching the leaves removes this hallucinatory component[205]. (This report does not make clear what it means by blanching, it could be excluding light from the growing shoots or immersing in boiling water[K].) Mature Height: 0.1 Mature Width: Habitat: Not known
Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in most soils[1], including dry ones, preferring a rich moist soil[205]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Succeeding in sun or shade, it produces more flowers in a sunny position though these flowers can be shorter-lived in very sunny positions[205]. Succeeds in short grass if the soil is moist[1]. Prefers a pH between 6 and 7[200].
This species has not been grown in Europe but, coming from the island of Sakhalin in N. Japan, it should prove to be hardy in most parts of Britain[205].
Individual flowers only live for one day[205]. The plant produces short scapes with only two flowers on a scape[205].
Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[200].
Plants take a year or two to become established after being moved[1].
Plants seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits[233].
The plants are very susceptible to slug and snail damage, the young growth in spring is especially at risk[200].
