Giant Asiatic Spider Lily

You have been my go-to person for all my gardening questions in Federal Way, Wa, and now I am hoping you can help me with this problem in my garden in my winter home in Maricopa, Arizona, about 20 miles south of Phoenix. I planted this lily about 4 years ago, and it has flourished, until I returned about 3 weeks ago and discovered this. It is the white flowering variety of this plant. It is planted in an area of bright shade in my garden and is on a drip system. Since I am not here in the summer I don’t know how much sun it gets then. I am told this area received much more rain in December than in previous years. What can I do to save this plant? Joanne

Hi Joanne, sounds like your spider lily has a problem but I could not see an image with the question. Did you mean to attach a photo? Would you like to try again so I can see what the problem looks like? You can also try to send a verbal description of the plant. I am back from vacation so I will be able to answer your question more promptly from now on so go ahead and try again. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
