I wouldn't wait. Just make sure you just coat the lower stem and a bit of the soil or mulch around the base. It only takes one borer to ruin a plant. I often go too long after a hard rain before coating and that has resulted in a few borers. Sometimes though when the rain is coming as often as it has this past 10 days it is hard to dust the base after each heavy rain. A light rain never seems to remove the Sevin at all. Just avoid dusting the blooms themselves as I have never seen a bee light on the lower stem or on the soil around the stem.
