		Daylily Rust

A recently encountered Daylily disease caused by the fungal organism, Puccinia hemerocallidis, has become of concern following its rapid spread throughout the United States. Spores of the disease are easily spread from an infected Daylily plant to others nearby. The same disease also occurs on Patrinia spp.

Daylily Rust may cause the entire foliage of Daylily plants to become an unsightly yellow, though it does not normally kill them. The healthy Daylily plant shown here does not have rust or any other foliage disease.
