Prevention of powdery mildew on hydrangeas

I'm in Cronulla NSW. Some of my hydrangeas develop powdery mildew when the humidity increases during summer. Can I spray now as a prevention ? for example like I do with Lime Sulphur on roses. Thanks in advance

Hi Robyn,

Thank you for contacting Yates.

Yes you can use Lime sulphur on all ornamentals including hydrangeas to prevent powdery mildew, the winter rate is 20ml/L of water. 

Hope this helps and happy gardening.

Yates
