What's eating my raspberry splash pulmonaria?

Raspberry Splash Pulmonaria is low-maintenance and largely pest-resistant in shaded spots. Powdery mildew is the most frequent problem, appearing in hot dry summers. Slugs can cause minor leaf damage in spring. Both respond quickly to correct cultural care — consistent moisture and post-bloom cutback are the key defenses.

White powdery fungal coating on leaf surfaces; most severe in dry soil or overly crowded planting conditions Shear foliage to the ground after flowering; water the root zone rather than overhead; apply neem oil or fungicidal spray if needed

Ragged holes and notched edges on leaves; slime trails on surrounding surfaces especially after rain Beer traps and iron phosphate pellets around crown; hand-pick at night; coarse grit or eggshells as physical deterrent
