Daylily rust? Or streak?

8 years ago

All of my day lilies have this discoloration at some degree this has been going on for a few years, seems to get a little worse every year. Doesn’t seem to affect the plant though! What to do??

It looks like leaf streak. If it is daylily rust, you can wipe off orange powder from the affected spots. We have leaf streak and don't do anything for it. It doesn't affect how the plant grows or flowers.

It may be leaf streak but to me it just looks like some of the leaves are stressed and one of the leaves looks like it is on the outside of the fan which is just normal die back , the fan puts out a new leaf in the middle and an outer one dies off .

The one with the mark in the center of the length of the leaf looks like it has been sun burnt

It's not rust. The first picture shows normal die back and bug damage. Just pull the leaves off, or cut them back. I'm not sure what you have going on in the second photo.
