Why are the leaves on my Bee Balm plants are turning white.?


Question:I recently planted 2 Bee Balm plants in my yard and they've been growing beautifully but I noticed this morning the leaves are turning white and look like they are starting to shrivel up. I don't see any pests and I water every day. Help!

Answers:
No worries, No worries, It will be fine!

Mine do the same thing, At this time of year, the plants have done put forth the extent of their energy into new lush green growth, now it is time for the plants to produce flowers, and all the sap and energy are all going to the production of flowers and seeds instead.


have you fertilized? start w/a shot of liquid fertilizer then sprinkle time release pellet type around the base. i recommend "osmocote"
Powdery Mildew! YUCK! Bee balm gets powdery mildew so bad !. Mix, Baking soda and water, spray it over the bee balm, it will kill the mildew, but for this season the bee balm will look like crap , flocks does the same thing!
Sounds like powdery mildew and the watering every day isn't helping. Bugsie is right on with her answer. Good luck!
