These wreaths are really easy to make and by adding a few items you can change the look easily and to fit in several seasons. Denise

If it were my bed, I would remove the plants and take out a good deal of the soil. Your soil has been affected and it may take a bit to get any disease out of the soil.

I would remove the plants, take out six inches of infected soil and put in new soil. I would also use a cider vinegar and water spray on the soil and let it set.

Also clean the plants bulbs you removed from the pots with a liquid soap mix and warm water. Clean the pots with vinegar and hot water and let dry. Denise

I’ve raised shamrocks for many years and would like to send you a photo of my plants, both potted and in a bed. This fall a yellow powdery pollen-like fungus (I think) invaded the shamrocks. I’ve cut them back for the winter, but wonder if I need to treat the flower bed before “bedding” it down for the winter. Am removing the shamrock roots from the pots and will store them until late next spring. Will also get new pots.

How shall I treat the flower bed?

Thanks for this site.

Hi! My name is David. Great post on remedies for Shamrock growing. My sister has a huge garden and has been battling problems with fungus growing on her plants for a while. I’ll suggest she use Neem oil. I’m wondering what percentage dilution is recommended for best results. Anyways, thanks, David

hi – I have a shamrock plant which is suffering from some type of ailment. There are white spots on the leaves which almost look like really dry. The number of white spots varies on each leaf from one to a lot.

Thanks for your help.
