Scars on leaves of my day lilies #930771

There are light brown splotches on the leaves of several of my day lilies. Some of the leaves are drying out completely. The plant is planted near larapies, tulips and irises that don’t seem affected. I dont see bugs and the ground doesn’t seem damp like when we had slugs in the past. What should I do?

Hi Patty. Not to worry, this likely is just damage by the recent cold snaps. The plants should come back without any problem.
If you want, perhaps for cosmetic reasons, you can remove the most affected leaves by cutting them off at the bottom.
