How do you get rid of black spots on hydrangea leaves?

Fill a spray bottle with 1 pint of tepid water and 1/2 tablespoon neem oil and mix well. Spray the stems and tops and bottoms of the leaves of the hydrangeas and discard the solution, as it breaks down within hours after mixing. Neem oil treats black spot and a host of other fungal diseases, such as cercospora.
