Lilies disappeared over the winter.

Albany, ME(Zone 4b)

Most of my lilies simply disappeared over the winter. I had a dozen or more in a 50' x 8' perennial bed (mixed with other flowers). Different colors, Asiatics and others. Some of them have been around over a decade. Most are many years old.

We had one night where the temp dropped below 20 below. I saw no evidence of moles. Sometimes there are a lot of tunnels visible in the yard nearby, but not this year. Every fall I water in mole repellant. Other perennials are fine, delphiniums, poppies, columbine, Cranesbill. But now that I think about it, no perennial dianthus survived. I usually lose about half of those.

Any ideas?
