Default Evergreen Honeysuckle

Hello,
I planted an evergreen honeysuckle in a container against a southfacing
wall last Autumn. It has been growing well but has developed grey
patches on some leaves which now seem to turning yellow. Does anyone
know what the problem is?
Thank you


It's mildew. Some honeysuckles are martyrs to it. But don't worry, it
never kills them, and they grow through it eventually. Don't bother
spraying it with a fungicide.
