We have had some really hot days followed by plenty of rain and this can cause problems with the lilies. I wouldn&#8217;t destroy them as they should flower again next year.

Let them die back naturally and give them a feed next year with a slow release fertiliser. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/Easy-Feed-Slow-Release-Fertiliser.html\">Slow Release Fertiliser &#8211; Easy Feed Pack  (SKU18119)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em class=\"hubmaster_faq_editor\">The Hart Family<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Anthony<br \/>\nIt could be stress caused by extreme weather conditions.
