"You need to continue applications about every 7-10 days as long as conditions are ripe for developing the disease or until you get fed up with spraying and you don't care any more." lol This is my kind of guy!

I've been battling rust on my hollyhocks this spring... it has been incredibly humid this year (Virginia). They're blooming but the foliage looks terrible. I'm going to try again next year and try to get ahead of this rust problem.... thank you so much for this information :)

Roses are prone to fungus as well, it's so tough to keep them looking healthy.

My gramma used to take a flamethrower and torch her garden beds before winter every year. The soil was literally black. Never saw a disease on her roses or flowers. Even the perennials were ok becase she only torched the first 3 inches or so. Is this legit or an old farmer's myth? Her flowers were above average prolific...show quality. She never used chemicals.

That makes sense. It would kill off disease and insects and also force the plants to renew themselves.

This has happened to my poor hollyhocks two years in a row. I will try preventative neem oil treatments next spring (along with your other suggestions). Crossing my fingers that will do the trick, because I love hollyhocks!

Try figleaf hollyhocks less prone to rust.

our plants hardly get rust, this is because we grow out the seeds from the parent plants and they had lots of rust, dont believe everything people tells you about plants because theres so much about plants we dont know. Take your time, and watch closely how the plants deal with there environment, they'll surprise you.
I love hollyhocks but have had a big problem not only with rust but with weevils. I don't want to kill bugs so I can have flowers- it seems wrong.
@nowirehangers28153 жыл бұрын
Plant something to either feed the weavels or stave them off
@saltycat6622 жыл бұрын
You would need a host plant that the weevils prefer but you'll end up producing more weevils. Weevils aren't endangered. It's okay to kill them off. Sometimes if you don't have enough natural predators around, they will grow too large in numbers.
