I recently moved back home with my mom because of her failing health. She loved her yard but it died because she wasn't able to care for it. I'm a complete novice when it comes to gardening.

In May this plant had one leaf. I started feeding it. By June it had started to bloom but was covered with aphids, gnats, spider mites, and whiteflies. I used the Bayer 3 in 1 granules and it appeared to solve the problems except for small holes in the leaves and something eating the edges of the leaves. I've tried all of the major brands of granules and liquid pesticides and something is still eating the plant. Additionally, I've got yellowing leaves but young and old.

Can someone tell me what's eating this plant and what I should use to get rid of them?

I have a lot to learn. I've got hydrangeas blooming again, irises blooming, snap dragons still budding, and azaleas and camellias blooming and my mom tells me this is all wrong!

I love this site and hope I can get things right before I kill everything off.

This picture was taken on December 13th and there is one new bud about to bloom.
