In The Garden: Is this edible?

Hi there

I just uprooted this because I wanted to make room for some other vegetables.

After I uprooted it I realized it resembles some green onion or chive or something like that.

Can anyone please help me identify this plant?

Much appreciated!

 

Do the leaves taste and smell garlicky?

 

No...it's not really fragrant, doesn't smell like onion nor garlic

 

In which case, not edible. Most bulb plants (with the exception of Allium) are toxic.

 

Perhaps Hemerocallis. Let it go to flowers to see what is it.

 

That's what it looks like. Those do produce edible flower buds.

 

Are you sure it isn't spiderwort?

Plant it... it looks like it's fixing to bloom... edible, but with a name like "cow slobber"... some yucky

 

I think it's Spiderwort.. It was in my lawn last year and resembles that.

I really appreciate your help with this guys!

 

The purple lines probably do point in that direction.
