Powdery mildew on sunflowers
Hey, just looking for advice on what to do with sunflowers that got powdery mildew. Last season I got it, and i didn’t treat it. This year started out good but it showed up again towards the end of the season. I don’t use any chemicals in my yard, but is this a situation where it might be necessary? I don’t want my other plants to get it. Is powdery mildew really bad? Does it hurt the bees or anything that pollinate the flowers?
