\n– Mr M<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I have two separate stalks of lilies come up this year, but unfortunately they have started to go orange\/yellow even a light rusty colour and looks like they are dying before it has had a chance to flower. Would someone please help or is it too late?
\nMany thanks Mr M<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you for getting in touch, and we’re sorry to hear your lilies aren’t thriving as expected. It can be really disheartening to see them decline before flowering, but there may still be hope depending on the cause.<\/p>\n

From your description\u2014orange\/yellowing leaves and a rusty appearance\u2014it sounds like your lilies may be affected by lily rust or another stress-related issue. Here are a few possibilities and tips to help:<\/p>\n
