Question:
What fungicide can I use to prevent phytophthora leaf blight in peonies?
Answer:
If your peonies have blight you should first improve soil drainage and air circulation. If you have already done these things, University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond recommends applying a fungicide to the plant and the soil around. She lists the fungicides to use. You will have to reapply the fungicide every 7-10 days throughout the growing season.
