Question
My stella de Ora Daylilies have always bloomed nicely. Last season they started out nicely and gradually developed yellow leaves and fewer blooms.  I decided I would divide them this spring.  All of my transplants took nicely, but suddenly as the buds are starting to bloom the leaves are turning yellow again and dead leaves are appearing.  They look sick.
Do you have any solutions?


Answer
Hi Anne,
Thanx for your question. It might be daylily rust.  Take a look at this link and let me know.

Also, check for slugs and snails.  They will eat the leafy material close to the ground and cause yellowing and death.

I hope this helps.
Tom
