Managing Iris Rust Without Starting Over

Controlling Iris Rust Effectively

If iris rust hasn't completely overtaken your plants, you can save them. Start by cutting off all affected leaves with scissors. Then fertilize with a water-soluble fertilizer to encourage fresh leaf growth.

Preventive Spraying and Sanitation

Spray the new leaves with chlorothalonil (Daconil) fungicide to prevent reinfection. Good sanitation is crucial—remove and dispose of all diseased leaf pieces as you prune to reduce spore spread.
