thalictrum downy mildew
« on: September 12, 2023, 09:52:01 AM »
Do thalictrum get aquilegia downy mildew?  My thalictrum delavayi didn't flower very well this year.  I've just noticed there are brown blotches on the stems.

dewberry,

If it is fungal, a full strength vinegar wash might clear it up. If not try Captan or other commercial fungicide.

I agree with Marc that a fungal spray is needed but your description does not fit with it being powdery mildew.
