The stems turn black and the foliage dies. Is this something that will spread to the other peonies? Some of my beds are crowded and don\u2019t get good air flow, but these peonies are on the border and not at all crowded. \u2013 S.S., English, Indiana.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> Peonies are susceptible to a couple of common fungal diseases \u2013 leaf blotch and botrytis blight. Leaf blotch is also called red spot or measles. The numerous common names reflect the various symptoms, including blotches on leaves and stems and small red spots (measles). The fungus overwinters on plant debris and tends to be present every year once it occurs.<\/p>\n<p>Botrytis blight also causes blackening of leaves, stems and flowers and is especially prevalent in wet seasons, so it would be a prime suspect this year. There are a few fungicides labeled for use on peonies for this disease, but they would have to be applied early and often to protect the leaves from infection rather than wait until after the disease is present.<\/p>\n<p>For both diseases, good sanitation is the best prevention strategy, including removal of infected foliage as it appears. Fall-clean by removal of plant tops and fallen leaves at the end of the season can help lessen the amount of overwintering inoculum.<\/p>\n<p>When irrigating, use drip or soaker hoses rather than overhead, or water early in the morning so the foliage can dry quickly. Good air circulation will also help \u2013 dig up and divide overcrowded plantings.<\/p>\n<p>More information on peony diseases can be found at:<\/p>\n<p>* https:\/\/www.ppdl.purdue.edu\/PPDL\/expert\/peonies_spots.html<\/p>\n<p>* https:\/\/www.ppdl.purdue.edu\/PPDL\/expert\/Peonies.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q.
