Michele can I ask what you're spraying with weekly? Are you alternating or is it the same thing each time?
virginiarose said: I only have one kind of spray so I hope it works!
virginiarose said: You said before that you rotate your sprays and you have picked out three different kinds, right?
virginiarose said: To my knowledge I only have a couple, like two rust prone daylilies and they do not have it. So is this a new crop of prone daylilies? or a lack of knowledge when buying. I assumed if it does not say it is susceptible then it must be ok, but maybe not. Maybe it means they do not know! LOL.
JWWC said:If I'm reading that correctly that is:
Headline/Cabrio or Propiconazole
with
Daconil
and
Nickel CBM or Nickel Plus
each time? I don't know why but spacing it vertically makes it easier for me to parse through.
And thanks!

What kind of spray do you have?
I use 3 kinds---- 2 systemic and 1 contact
Either hybridizers spray everything on a regular schedule and don't now the plants have rust or just don't list them as susceptible. To my knowledge only 2 actually say anything about rust on their sites. I may be wrong so I apologize in advance but I only remember 2. I have bought from rust free gardens in the north and as soon as it gets to my climate it breaks out. Now these are not their plants and they initially bought them somewhere else, but rust can lay in wait until the right circumstances are there for it to show up. The plant was not here long enough to have gotten it here before it broke out so I know it had it already.
Since it is the end of the season you could cut those plants all the way back and then spray them with what you have. The rust lives in any visible green on the plant so if you feel comfortable cutting it way down then you could cut it all the way down to about 2-3 inches ( where the fan starts turning white near the base).
