I have a daily routine of checking the the beetles but I&#8217;ll have to destroy about 1\/3 of my collection this year. I&#8217;m reluctant to replace my destroyed lilies with new lily bulbs. If I replace them with other summer bulbs such as Crinum, Eucomis, Hymenocallis and Liatris, will these be affected by lily beetle.<br \/>\nRegards<br \/>\nMike Wain<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"hubmaster_faq_answer\">Good news! None of these varieties will attract the lily beetle. <\/p>\n<p>Do you have Fritiallaria (Crown Imperials)? If so, these also attract the Lily Beetle unfortunately. <\/p>\n<p>The lily beetle doesn&#8217;t affect the condition of the bulb or the flower, it just makes the foliage look unsightly, so you won&#8217;t need to destroy your lilies. Leave them to flower and die back this year.  I would maybe try planting a Garlic bulb alongside your lily bulbs. This has been reported to be quite successful against lily beetles. Also, we do sell a lily beetle repellent that you could try for next season. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/Lily-Beetle-Prevention.html\">Lily Beetle Prevention (SKU17972)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em class=\"hubmaster_faq_editor\">The Hart Family<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good news!
