Aster Yellows Disease - 😱🌸😢 

Your brave to replant so soon after the removal. I’m just getting rid of all my 4-5 year old coneflowers (all 7). They were big and full. I’m treating the soil and will see what I’ll do next spring. So upsetting!

The research I read said that the bacteria is still in the plant and not to compost but put it in a tightly seal plastic bag and put it in the garbage.

Wow, so sorry this has happened. I’ve never heard of that but remember you showing how that plant was different.

I think I might have that problem on my cherry brandy rudbeckia. After watching your video I went back out to look at it again and the flower was definitely deformed and growing in a cluster. This is so frustrating because these plants came in biodegradable pots but the plants suffered so I took them out and replanted them. I lost 1 of the three and now this will be 2 of 3 and this was the one that was growing the best.😟 Maybe it's time for a different plant. I wanted this rudbeckia because I'm not a fan of the traditional black eyed susan. Oh well somethings always changing in the garden.

Good info!!!

Glad you brought this up,we need to watch out for it .

The coneflowers look lovely together Jenny 💕

This is good information - thanks bunches. Happy gardening!!

Good to know. I've never heard of that before.

Good information. And yes. Nothing is perfect! I will keep my eye out for possible diseases. Blessings!

Thank you So much more about the information about All your garden and a lot of VIDEO to see 🇺🇸🇺🇸🍏🍎🍓🍅🍉🍏🍇🍐🌶🌽🍆🍟🍞🌭🍰🎂🍱🍾🍷🍸🍴🎠🛳✈🛩🌓☈☈🌈

I had never heard of aster yellows before this year. I had a cone flower that definitely had aster yellows this spring, I pulled it and went on thankful it was gone. I am glad you addressed it so others are aware. Thank you and I enjoy your videos and your humor.

I think I had this on a Cheyenne Spirit coneflower. It had mutated flowers just like that. It died on its own,but terrific information. Thanks, Jenny!!

Imperfection is perfect, they look so pretty.

At least you caught it…hopefully! I love coneflowers!

Wow, good information! So sorry! I have some pow wow cone flowers that the leaves are moldy/white looking but the plant keeps growing. Strange

Thank you for this video, Jenny. I have to admit, when I first watched it I thought it was rather drastic to remove the coneflower plants completely. I've been having similar symptoms on my coneflower plants, so decided to research this myself. Well, after reading up on this and what it can do to other plants in my garden, I've dug up and thrown away 8 plants so far. Later this fall I will dig up and throw away the rest. Sadly, I bought 4 new coneflower plants about 6 weeks ago that came to me healthy and are already showing disease. Which is consistent with how quickly aster yellows can show up after spreading. I'll be watching my other plants for signs of this disease and remove as needed. Again, thank you!

Hi Jenny, I love your channel and I too, just had to deal with aster's yellow. I was informed that you get the plant affected off of your property though by putting it in a trash bag and disposing of it. I might be wrong, but I was told that by three sources. I just don't want you running into any future problems, especially if it is a mite issue.

Boy I tell ya, between the diseases and insects and the weather and the birds and all the other critters... gardening ain't for sissies. I planted some astilbes last spring and some type of wilt took them out 💔

Good information! I have controlled spider mites on daylilies by hitting them with sprays of water every day for a few days. Are these mites controllable in the same way? Do leafhoppers live in the ground?
