The end of busy lizzies?
« on: August 13, 2011, 11:28:07 AM »

Britain's favourite hanging basket plant is facing a very uncertain future, as a result of a new fungicide-resistant form of downy mildew.

Quote
Andrew Tokely, of Thompson & Morgan, one of Britain’s longest-established plant and seed firms, said: ‘There is no cure. It could be the end of busy lizzies.’

The Royal Horticultural Society is urging gardeners to destroy any plants displaying symptoms.

They should dig up infected plants and avoiding replanting busy lizzies in the same ground for at least a year.

(In case you think this is just the Daily Mail exaggerating, The Scotsman has got the same story :)  )
