Expert Response
Our wet weather is contributing to this problem. Avoid watering from above and remove affected leaves, putting them in a hot compost site or burying them. Fertilize your daylilies to encourage new healthy growth. For detailed information on how to deal with this issue, see https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/daylily-leaf-streak/
