What’s Wrong With My Lilies?

Question

I planted these Stargazer Lily Bulbs this spring and they just bloomed today. I think I might have over fertilized them or it has been too hot/sunny for them. Any advice?

Answer 1

It could be overfertilized. The only way to know will be to test your soil, which should be done before fertilizing to make sure that it needs it. It could be overwatering, or disease, too. A soil test will confirm whether the nutrients and pH are in range. If they are, then it could be disease.
