  • Rust making it's Fall appearance.
    With evening temperatures cooling, daylily rust is breaking it's summer "sleep" and will be active until temperatures drop below 45 at night on a consistent basis.  In warmer areas, it may persist longer into the fall and winter and spraying may have to continue. In the northern or colder parts of our region, the cold, snow and ice should put it into dormancy until the warm up next spring.  It could be compared to a seasonal hay fever - some get it bad and some not so bad but it is usually around.  11-2-07
