Perhaps I'll give Daconil a try. I really think it's been just too much rain lately (about 10 inches in the last two weeks). The issue seems to be more of a root rot issue I believe. At least all of the other Echinacea seem to be very OK...so far. I did spray my zinnias with Daconil twice in the past two weeks when they were perfectly healthy. I have started to see slight signs of mildew on a few leaves although I'm sure the plants have benefited a bit from using Daconil. I've removed that foliage as fast as I can so its just a "wait and see" thing. Here is my first bloom this morning on Echinacea "Primadonna White". This one was grown from seed last year and did over winter. It didn't look like it going to over winter, but then just took off in April.
