Latin Name:  Hemerocallis dumortieri
Family:  Hemerocallidaceae
Author:  E.Morr.

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:  0.45   Mature Width:  0.6

Habitat:  Meadows in the mountains of N. and C. Japan[58, 187].

General Uses: The tough dried foliage is plaited into cord and used for making footwear[205]. Plants form a slowly spreading clump and are suitable for ground cover when spaced about 45cm apart each way[208]. The dead leaves should be left on the ground in the winter to ensure effective cover[208].
