Beebalm powder on leaves

Postby kristin10152001 » Wed Aug 24, 2011 6:08 pm

Hello,
my bee balm seems to have some type of white powder on it and I want to treat it but not sure what to use without harming my good insects, also if anyone knows of a good place to get compost worms I am interested

Safer has a fungicide, but make sure you read the label directions.

It's a mildew and, so far as my experience, it won't harm the plant at all.
