My Edge performed well even the first year I grew it in this toxic climate, and most new bulbs have real problems here since they are so small (I am the only one I know of that ever sold mature lily bulbs). Give it some time to settle it sounds like it just didn't produce enough roots to perform well in the summer heat. My Mussasi was wonderful and I love the color, it divided into 2 this year and since this year was even more toxic than normal it was short, only 3 feet. Many lilies died here (among other plants) and due to the toxicity of this climate I do not expect them to return.
The absolute worst, ugliest excuse of a lily I ever grew is Sphinx, I grew it in an ideal climate and this hell on earth one and it made no difference. It is just as ugly in both places every season although I think the weather killed it for good this year and good riddance.
