Tiger lilies carry disease?

12 years ago

I just recently read that tiger lilies carry disease. I have some in a flower bed with daylilies and asiatic lilies. Should I remove them? Can I keep them if I plant them far away from my other lilies? I appreciate any information that you can give me.

Yes,most of them carry a virus but do not show signs of it. If I remember correctly they should be kept at least 100 ft. away from your other lilies. Not a problem for the daylilies though
