I have peonies that seem to have this gray mold on the leaves. It hasn't turned brown or wilted the leaves, but I've noticed that my hydrangea that is next to it doesn't look too good. I have 3 others in my gardens and they all look great still. Could whatever is on the peonies have affected my hydrangea too? Its not as green and lush as it should be and the edges of the leaves look like their browning. I live in zone 7 and my peonies are well passed bloomed. I usually wait til fall to cut the foliage down. Should I have cut that down sooner? And do you think I should move the peony because it is rather close to the hydrangea? When I put the hydrangea there it wasn't as big as it is now.
