  • This sounds like what is attacking my Honeysuckle. Is that possible. As you might have gathered I'm a novice gardener ...... but very keen image

    Yes, it'll be mildew. If it gets a real grip, affected leaves will turn yellow and drop. It can be caused byu the wet and humid atmosphere.

    Try spraying it when it's dry; if it becomes really bad you can try pruning it out. You won't solve the problem until the weather improves, though.

  • Thanks!

    I have it coming on my honeysuckles too. Same every year unfortunatly. I was told it was because of the damp weather and they need air to circulate freely around them. I sorted that problem out but they are both still getting affected. As you say Alina, the problem will not dissapear any time soon by the look of things !
