Had to garbage 32 plants so far (Estella Indigo, Golden Jubilee and Summer Fiesta). Am hopeful you find certain cultivars don't get it. Is this still proving true? <br /><br />I had them planted in several gardens with very different conditions and they all got it.

I've never had a problem with powdery mildew on my agastaches but our lilac has powdery mildew every summer. It doesn't seem to harm it otherwise and none of the plants around it have gotten it.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-19731327522631876442013-08-16T20:25:10.918-05:002013-08-16T20:25:10.918-05:00I don't grow Agastache but I have other plants...I don't grow Agastache but I have other plants prone to mildew. I use a systemic organic fungicide, applied once a month, doesn't harm the environment or the plants, it helps a lot and keeps the mildew at bay. I am sure you can find a similar product where you live.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-4496119054902718212013-08-16T12:12:33.075-05:002013-08-16T12:12:33.075-05:00I've had glorious results and total disasters ...I've had glorious results and total disasters with the Agastaches. I think my problem ones occurred when there was some clay in the soil. I know they like excellent drainage, but I think they also dislike clay? sandy lawrencenoreply@blogger.com
