Hemerocallis citrina, common names citron daylily[2] and long yellow daylily, is a species of herbaceous perennial plant in the family Asphodelaceae.

Description

Hemerocallis citrina can reach a height of 90–120 centimetres (35–47 in). It has bright green, linear arching leaves about 40 cm long. Flowers are lemon yellow, trumpet-shaped, showy and very fragrant, about 15 centimetres (5.9 in) in diameter. They bloom from June to July. Long yellow day lily is cultivated in Asia for its edible flowers.
Distribution and habitat

This species is native to East Asia and China. It grows in forest margins, grassy fields and slopes, at an elevation of 0–2,000 metres (0–6,562 ft) above sea level.
Other uses

The tubers, inflorescences, buds and flowers can all be cooked and eaten. Dried or fresh flowers, sometimes called "gum jum" or "golden needles" (金針 in Chinese; pinyin: jīn zhēn) or as huánghuācài (黃花菜, literally "yellow flower vegetable") are used in Chinese cuisine for dishes including hot and sour soup, daylily soup (金針花湯), Buddha's delight, and moo shu pork.[3]
