Day Lily
Hemerocallis spp.
No—rabbits should not eat day lilies. Flowers, leaves, and shoots can cause nausea and gut pain, so keep garden plantings out of reach.
Day lilies are not true Lilium, but they look similar: long stems that fork into wide six-petaled blooms in orange, yellow, purple, pink, white, and patterned mixes.
Even a small nibble is a reason to call your veterinarian or a pet poison hotline. Do not offer any part as a treat or forage sample.
