Hemerocallis pedicellata (1 Page of 5) The Hemerocallis pedicellata 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 pedicellata Family: Hemerocallidaceae Author: Nakai. 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: 0.9 Mature Width: Habitat: Not known
Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors in most parts of this country. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus.
Succeeds in most soils[1], including dry ones, preferring a rich moist soil and a sunny position 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].
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 particularly vulnerable[200, K].
