white lilac

The above in my front garden in Cornwall is inclined to be affected by a brown nasty colouring on the actual flower.

Can I use a fungicide straight onto the flowers?

    It's better to find out what it is first.
    Have you got a photo? White flowers often get a bit manky due to weather codnitions.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    My first thought was the same as yours @Fairygirl ... probably weather related ... and white lilac blooms usually go brown as they finish. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Yes - the white buddleias are the same, Dove.
    Pity, as they're always covered in butterflies - more than any other buddleia I always think.
