Re: lungwort powdery mildew

Kitty,

P. 'Mrs. Moon', of which I have thousands as it is a groundcover
always gets powdery mildew around here.  Doesn't seem to bother the
plants and if it's where it bothers me, I just whack them back. 
Often do that this time of year anyway.  They put out new foliage. 
Hot and dry or cold and dry can cause this...not worth spraying.
