Q&A – What is causing the spots on the leaves of my daylilies?
Question:
What is causing the spots on the leaves of my daylilies?
Answer:
This is a fungus, likely leaf streak. If your daylilies have this disease University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says you need to practice good sanitation by removing dead leaves and apply fungicide. Fungicide will need to be applied on a regular basis. If you can’t control it, she recommends removing the plants and planting a variety that is resistant to this disease. Leaf streak looks bad cosmetically, but it probably will not kill your plants.
