Donald-- I have dealt with rust twice on two new daylilies. Once I used a systemic and baking soda. Twice I noticed rust on Dusty Miller's. Here they never die, I end up with wood trunks on them. That year it seemed like it was going to spread throughout the daylilies. Now I will not keep a Dusty Miller or susceptible plants for more than 15 months. I wash all my daylilies with baking soda and dish soap in the spring. I am blessed that I do not have rust. I think it is the baking soda, but I have a lot of heat dormancy. Heat causes rust to go domant, but there has to be a point that kills it. I thought rust was not prevalent here because of the hot summers. The only part of the country that is continually hotter is Phoenix Az area. May everyone's garden experience blessings!
One to take to heart....1 John 4 ..............................................Where there is smoke...there is fire...in most cases the smoke will kill you long before the fire consumes you. Beware of smoke screens! Freedom is not free and when those who have not paid the price or made the sacrifice...think that only they are right and entitled to speak...they bring us tryanny.
