what is systemic? Is it a chemical? Where can I find it? HD? //blush...

A systemic is a pesticide that gets into the plants system and makes
it toxic to insects that eat it. It is obviously not used on fruits
or vegetables. Rosepride Orthenex is the stuff I used. Probably
stocked by any garden shop. It saved my gardenia which BTW has
several little children grown from cuttings.
