Question by lolitar62

I have tiny whitish spots on the leaves but the bush is flowering profusely. What are these pests and how do I rid the plant of them? Will this kill the plant???

0	Lolita, I am sorry for this delayed reply to your gardening question. The spring rush has brought a deluge of questions and we are working hard to catch up! Probably white flies. Try a spray of neem oil directed upward to hit the bottom sides of the leaves very thoroughly. Repeat in a couple of weeks. That should do the trick. You may also want to contact your Montgomery County Extension Office for additional suggestions. Thanks for the question. Best wishes for a wonderful gardening season. Please stop in again soon!
