Re: How to get rid of lilies. Was: I bought a Tiger lily at
I have great patches of roadside daylillies which I have been trying to
eradicate. Some of them were progressing into my Iris beds and I dug for days.
Finally I stopped digging and decided to mow them down every time I mowed the

rid of in places where mowing is not possible.
