Lily disease #134972

Asked June 17, 2013, 8:31 PM EDT

I have a couple of Stargazer Lilies and each year they get brown leaves and the blooms die. What is the problem with the lilies and how do I prevent it from happening next year?

Marion County Oregon

Expert Response

Based on the photo it looks like it could be Botrytis Blight, a fungal disease. It looks like the bulbs are in the ground, not in a pot. The link to the information below should provide you with some ideas on what might help.
