Water only when the soil is dry to a depth of 1&#8243;. Always check the soil before you turn on the tap.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Why aren\u2019t the perennial plants I received this spring doing well despite being watered diligently (or religiously)? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perennial plant material, which includes perennials, trees, shrubs and Roses, needs to be watered well after planting and then watered when the soil is dry to a depth of 1\u201d. If rain is scarce, this generally means one deep watering per week, even in the hotter areas of the country. This is especially true of bareroot plant material. If plants are overwatered while establishing new roots, the quality of the roots will be compromised and the plants will not survive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is the foliage of my perennials (or shrubs) wilting even though I\u2019m watering diligently? Why don\u2019t the plants recover after watering? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The foliage of plants often will wilt during the hottest part of the day as a response to the heat, but this does not mean the soil is dry, especially if conditions also have been humid. Always check the moisture level of the soil before watering. It should be dry to a depth of 1\u201d before you water again. It\u2019s important to remember that decorative mulch holds moisture in the soil. If the soil is staying too wet, it\u2019s always best to temporarily remove the mulch from the base of the plants and gently cultivate the soil to aerate it. This should be done after every rain until the plant recovers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1042\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1042\" style=\"width: 431px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whiteflowerfarm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/4.-The-foliage-of-Phlox-Robert-Poore-is-covered-in-powdery-mildew.-The-plants-need-to-be-cut-at-the-b.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1042\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whiteflowerfarm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/4.-The-foliage-of-Phlox-Robert-Poore-is-covered-in-powdery-mildew.-The-plants-need-to-be-cut-at-the-b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"431\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wffblog.mi9retail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/4.-The-foliage-of-Phlox-Robert-Poore-is-covered-in-powdery-mildew.-The-plants-need-to-be-cut-at-the-b.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wffblog.mi9retail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/4.-The-foliage-of-Phlox-Robert-Poore-is-covered-in-powdery-mildew.-The-plants-need-to-be-cut-at-the-b-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wffblog.mi9retail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/4.-The-foliage-of-Phlox-Robert-Poore-is-covered-in-powdery-mildew.-The-plants-need-to-be-cut-at-the-b-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wffblog.mi9retail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/4.-The-foliage-of-Phlox-Robert-Poore-is-covered-in-powdery-mildew.-The-plants-need-to-be-cut-at-the-b-1024x765.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wffblog.mi9retail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/4.-The-foliage-of-Phlox-Robert-Poore-is-covered-in-powdery-mildew.-The-plants-need-to-be-cut-at-the-b-600x448.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 431px) 100vw, 431px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1042\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The foliage of Phlox &#8216;Robert Poore&#8217; is covered in powdery mildew.

While the foliage looks unsightly, the overall vigor of the plant will not be affected.

Do not compost this material.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s causing the holes in the leaves of my Roses? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the damage results in a skeletonizing effect to the foliage (the leaf tissue between the large veins is eaten away), the damage could be caused by the larval stage of Rose sawfly (here in Zone 5 we begin scouting for this insect around Mother\u2019s Day) or Rose chafers. Later in the season thrips may be the culprits. All of these insects can be controlled with a neem oil or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whiteflowerfarm.com\/54031-product.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>Monterey Garden Insect Spray<\/u><\/a>, or any insecticide recommended for Roses.
