Hello i have planted out my dahilas that i grew from seed.
They have been in the garden a few weeks,but are covered in ants.
Would any one know if i can put ant powder on them?Will it harm the dahila?
Thanx.

Hi

I would look for aphids, normally the ants are farming aphids on tender young shoots.
Treat the aphids & the ants should leave.
Hope others can give better advice.
