Rust on hollyhocks is caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia malvacearum and impacts hollyhock leaves and stems. This fungus first appears on leaves as yellow, circular spots about 1/8 inch wide. These yellow spots enlarge and swellings develop on leaf undersides.
This causes the leaves to initially yellow, dry up and turn brown. Spider mites thrive in hot weather and are worse in dry, hot summers. The phlox bugâs feeding causes white or light green spots on the leaves and buds. The leaves will eventually turn brown, dry out and drop off. The symptoms can be so severe that plant growth may become impeded and die. The phlox bug lives in the egg stage through winter on dead stems.
