When you first see it, remove the affected leaves. The fungi are airborne, but they overwinter on plant debris so clean up the area and discard any fallen leaves. Make sure your plants are in full sun; the fungi will thrive in shade. Make sure there is good air circulation, too. Look for resistant cultivars.
