Frequently Asked Questions


Why are my Burgundy leaves wilting or turning yellow, and what should I do about it?
Wilting with yellowing can be a sign of downy mildew or early blight in Burgundy when foliage stays wet. Remove and discard affected leaves, improve airflow by thinning crowded plants, and water at the soil line in the morning so leaves dry quickly. If it keeps spreading, apply an appropriate copper-based fungicide labeled for the crop you’re growing and repeat according to label timing.
How often should I water Burgundy during the main growing phase to keep growth steady?
During the main growth phase, keep soil evenly moist but not soggy—aim for about 1 inch of water per week, delivered in 1–2 sessions. Let the top 1 inch of soil dry slightly between waterings, especially in warm weather, to prevent rot and disease. Mulch helps stabilize moisture, but don’t pile it against stems.
