About Flower Blight
This fungal pest, Ciborinia camellia, causes flower blight primarily on camellias, leading to brown, water-soaked spots that quickly expand and cause blossoms to wilt and die. Homeowners in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood may notice affected blooms dropping prematurely, reducing the plant’s aesthetic appeal. Managing moisture and promptly removing infected flowers can help minimize damage.
