I over wintered some beautiful snapdragons and boy oh boy were they gorgeous with huge full heads of blooms. Within 4 days, one pot has just about kicked the bucket. The other pot, about 8 ft away, is starting to do the same thing. See attached pics of healthy plants, almost dead plants and the back of a leaf of the one that is heading to the trash....

Rust.

It may just be the hot, dry weather that makes rust so happy. The snapdragons can really be victims!

The fungicide in Spectracide's Immunox seems to do a pretty good job keeping it off them. Since I have begun using Bayer's 3-in-1, (insect, disease & mites), it hasn't been much of a problem. I spray the ornamentals, regularly.

Its been unseasonably warm out here, which is why I was also able to overwinter begonias with foliage, and more. Better look up the spray you mentioned. Its gonna be in the 90's next week.
