Lilies – Pruning
Q: When do you cut back the leaves of calla lilies, daylilies, and Oriental lilies?
A: I scissor off brown leaves whenever I see them and have my pruners handy. It’s my experience that “green leaves are good leaves” so I leave as much live foliage as possible on plants until frost kills it.
