It is quickly being taken over by this 'paint' which is in fact masses of very tiny little white insects.
Help, what is it and what should I do about it, I am trying to cut the worst of it back, but I think I should be using some chemicals to eradicate it before it spreads to the rest of the garden. Any ideas please about what I should be doing.

Hi Dan and Lar, thank you for your replies, having had another look (with my inexperienced eye ) I would think mite rather than aphid, so I'm off to the Garden Centre to let them have a look, and see what the locals recommend.
Again thanks to you both. Landlubber
