Edmund will go it alone at the All England Club, although Davis Cup captain Leon Smith will help when required.
The 22-year-old intends to make a longer-term appointment before the start of the American swing in August.
Naomi Broady also lost to Kristyna Pliskova 6-2 6-7 (7/9) 6-1 but 21-year-old Cameron Norrie registered a surprise 6-4 7-6 (7/4) victory over world number 49 Horacio Zeballos.
It was a first ever ATP Tour win in a main draw for Norrie, who is ranked 236th in the world, and earns a second-round meeting with Frenchman Gael Monfils.
British number one Johanna Konta will begin on Tuesday against Romania's Sorana Cirstea, who accused her of gamesmanship following their controversial Davis Cup tie in April.
Cirstea lost but said Konta had "exaggerated" her distress after the Briton was verbally abused by Romanian team captain Ilie Nastase.
