Will Fungicides Hurt Hummingbird?

| My fuschia has just developed black-spot on the leaves after a week of humid 100 degree days. I'd like to spray it with something, but I've seen the hummingbirds drink from the flowers and don't want to harm the little darlings. Anything I can use that won't hurt them? Or should I just wait since the heat is supposed to drop back into the 80s? |

Hi Trytryagain,
I don't honestly know, but I'd play safe and not spray with any chemicals at all - Kath :) |

trytryagain,
I know this is a very old post but I grow fuschias among other plants just for hummingbirds. You can't use any chemicals around a plant safely that hummingbirds or any birds use for that matter. Last summer we had terribly high heat also which is unusual for us here in the northeast. I moved my fushias to where they were able to get better air circulation and shade Penny |
