How can I stop a climbing honeysuckle getting powdery mildew?

Our Advice:

Honeysuckles often have powdery mildew by mid-summer, but you can spray affected growth with Fungus Fighter Plus from Bayer or Rosegarde from Vitax. This mildew is often an indicator that a plant is not getting enough moisture, so keep it well watered and mulch around the base to keep the roots cooler.
