I pick them when they are open and fry them in an egg batter, just like squash blossoms. And the flavor is similar, spicy.

I can't see that the rhizomes would be worth digging, edible or not. And the leaves would have to be young to not be too tough. There are always plenty of flowers.

Daylily bloomed out flowers are edible.  Even tasty.  I dry and use them in
hot sour soup. http://www.poppainc.org/pdfs/Daylily_recipes.pdf

I've heard that the flower buds are edible, but I can't imagine that
slowing
down the plants!  Are the leaves or rhizomes edible too?
