A local nursery recommended spraying it with copper fungicide. Hummingbirds are taking advantage of early blossoms. Will this product harm them?
While we do have several copper fungicides which are labeled to treat powdery mildew, none are specifically labeled for honeysuckle. We would recommend a product like Eagle 20EW, which is specifically labeled to apply to honeysuckle for powdery mildew. It should not harm hummingbirds if used as directed. Ideally, you would want to apply at a time when there are no birds in the area until the product has had time to dry.
