King's spear (Asphodeline lutea), from the Mediterranean region, is found in dry and rocky habitats but adapts well to domestic gardens. The ancient Greeks treated the roots like potatoes and roasted them to enhance their nutty flavor. The young shoots are sometimes cooked like spinach, and the fragrant flowers used to decorate a salad.
Liburne asphodel prefers moist soil and is a common plant used in woodland gardens. The flowers open in midafternoon to avoid wilting in the heat. Seeds from the plant are a food source for wildlife in the winter.
