Impatiens Downy Mildew is a relatively new disease problem for American gardens and now is being observed in many areas around the country. It has been confirmed this summer in Northern Virginia and Chesterfield County Virginia. Although it has not been confirmed in the Hampton Roads area, the recent rains and cooler night temperatures provide the perfect environment for disease infection. You may be experiencing early decline in your Impatiens.
