Latin Name:  Hemerocallis fulva longituba
Family:  Hemerocallidaceae
Author:  (Miq.)Maxim.
 
Known Hazards:  Large quantities of the leaves are said to be halucinogenic[127, 137]. 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:  1   Mature Width:  
 
Habitat:  Not known



Cultivation Notes:  Succeeds in most soils[1], including dry ones, preferring a rich moist soil and a sunny position[200] but tolerating partial shade. Plants flower less freely in a shady position though the flowers can last longer in such a position[205]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Succeeds in short grass if the soil is moist[1]. Prefers a pH between 6 and 7[200]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[200]. Unlike the type species, this form does produce viable seed[187]. Plants take a year or two to become established after being moved[200]. Individual flowers are short-lived, opening in the morning and withering in the evening. The plant, however, produces a succession of flowers over a period of about 6 weeks[205]. 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].
