Bill,
Two years ago I experienced leaf spot on my Louisiana's. And now this
year I have seen it on my Spuria's. It was definitely leaf spot but
dissimilar to bearded leaf spot. I believe that this leaf spot was
imported into my garden. In both cases it was controlled by the same
fungicides I use on the beardeds. Has anyone else experienced leaf spot
on beardless iris?
