These lillys have grown wonderfully for several years. This year, they look like the end of the season. Any ideas?

Too dry, too wet, too much shade? Weed killer would not have left some green leaves.
They seem to be too crowded and that could be a problem as well as moisture. Divide in the fall and use bone meal when you replant.
Thanks so much for your reply - will give it a go

Choose a weedkiller for shrubs, or add some more residu then described on the leaflet

It looks a bit like sucker from some sort of Prunus / flowering cherry type tree.
I remember my Grandmother cut down one next to her lawn and spent the next 15 years trying to get rid of the suckers which came up along the root runs of the ex-tree
I would guess some sort of SBK Brushwood killer or Armillatox painted on each individual shoot would eventually work, but possibly someone with more knowledge may be along to help
All the best Sue
