Azaleas
A couple of my azaleas seem not to be fully dropping the old flowers. The
flower has long died and withered, but still it clings to the bush, looking very untidy. This has been ongoing with these bushes for years. The bushes continue to grow, seem happy, just untidy. I have about 40 plants, but this is only happening on three of them. Any clues why this is so?

They have Azalea Petal Blight, a type of fungal infection. Bayleton is the spray to use to prevent this in future. Spray when there is colour in the buds then every few weeks until the plant has finished flowering or after rain. Wet weather makes the problem worse. BTW, carefully remove the dead blooms and either burn them or put them in the garbage, do *NOT* put them in the compost heap. |

Azaleas
Are these three plants right next to each other? And do they get more
sunlight than the rest of the azaleas? Tristan "Elegant Embroidery" wrote in message .. . A couple of my azaleas seem not to be fully dropping the old flowers.
