Pest I.D.
in Plants
Hello-can anyone identify this pest/substance on my echinops?

I can see aphids but also a sort of crystallised ‘crust’ (the white stuff in the pic). Any idea how to deal with it or can it be ignored?
Thanks!

Avoid feeding your plants if you can. Any new young growth will attract aphids in the warm heat.
