White Tie-Dye Foliage on Rosemary and Thyme: Need Photo for ID

Creeping thyme, rosemary, and unknown plant in window box show white, dual-colored foliage (not film) plus small ants.

Assessment

Ants suggest honeydew-producing insects (aphids, scale, mealybugs). The "tie-dye" leaf appearance may be insect damage, nutrient issue, or disease.

Send close-up photo of affected foliage for identification. Accurate ID needed before treatment.
