Any primroses I have are less than a few inches tall. But... it sounds like your lilies are being crowded out by the yellow flowered plants. My lilies have never died off during the summer, so I don't think this is a natural thing and is a sign that the lilies are not thriving. Would it be possible to move the plants with the yellow flowers or move the lilies so each plant would have a chance to thrive? I am not familiar with yellow primroses that grow to that height.

After several years they are spectacular. We noticed that after they bloomed many primrose plants shot up to over six feet. We like the yellow primrose flowers and they are visited by goldfinches. But they seem to have crowded out the lily plants, whose leaves are small and many leaves dead. Is there some sort of competition? Will our lilies come back next spring? Should we cut down the primroses? Thanks for your advice. Along my driveway in poor soil we placed about twenty small day lily plants given to us by a neighbor.

My late Momma had them planted at the base of a large pine tree and they never grew much. I moved them to my home and set them out in a less shaded area and they have tripled in size already. I don't care if they are considered old fashioned - - I love old things: Old houses, old people, old furniture, old plants. Enjoyed your article about orange daylilies.
