My Spider lilies have been affected with, what I think is a fungal disease. I tried a spray of bordeaux mixture, but haven't seen any sign of improvement. I think I should pull them out and dispose of them, as I'm afraid it will spread to Agapanthus and my Bromeliads? The lilies are under eucalypt trees, and I wondered if this may be the cause? Nearly every leaf, young and old, is affected.
Some leaves are distorted, so I also wondered if it could be a virus, or a complex of them both?
Any help would be appreciated. I didn't want to go to the effort of digging them out (huge border of them) but I also don't want to be spraying chemicals about regularly.
