i had to dig up my lilies to plant them in another part of my yard and they turned brown and their laying on the ground. Did i kill them or will they come back? I water them once a week so its not from dehydration. If they do come back about how long does it take.

u most likely killed them, cuz lilies "HATE" to have their roots disturbed when growing! try watering more then once a week, more like once a day till they perk back up! if u transplanted them into alot of sun try shading them with some sort of board or something! the sun will deplete the water to fast and this is what the plants need most right now! good luck!

You may have killed them. It is hard to say. Lillies are usually pretty hardy. You may have needed to cut them back a little before moving them, so their wasn't so much strain on the plant. Or you may have over or underwatered them. You really have to feel the soil to see about when to water. Another possibility might be if you have treated your lawn recently for weeds. The weed killer could have killed them off.
