There are a couple of reasons why your daylilies might be dying. Here are the most common culprits: Watering issues Daylilies need consistent moisture, but they don't like soggy soil. Underwatering or overwatering can both damage the plants. Lack of sunlight Daylilies prefer at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Less sun can make them weak and spindly. Disease: Fungal diseases like crown rot and daylily rust can infect daylilies. These diseases can damage the leaves and crown of the plant, eventually killing it. Pests: Insects like voles and grubs can munch on the roots of daylilies, damaging the plant. Herbicide damage If you've recently used herbicides around your daylilies, be aware that some herbicides can damage or kill these plants. To diagnose the problem with your daylilies, you'll need to consider the symptoms they're exhibiting.
