I have both daylilies and stargazer lilies that were purple last year. This year the stargazer came up white and the daylilies came up a very pale pink. Do I need to add something to the soil to keep the purple color?

Daylily colors are not ph sensitive, nor are regular lilies. It sounds like they may be getting sunbleached.
