Another twilight pic. Thanks for any help.

Okay, I'm just going to throw the plants out.

Why??? It looks great besides the black. Just clip those leaves and see if new growth develops it. Might be a lack of a particular nutrient, but whenever that's the case, it usually affects all foliage.

If you don't get an answer in this forum in the next couple days, try the Garden Clinic forum.

I would say that perhaps you planted them too early for your zone and they endured some low temps initially, but the new growth looks good. I think you should give them a while longer to see if their condition improves.

I think you're right Aili. Frost damage didn't come to my big fat head here in SoCal. But, that definitely looks like it got nipped a bit by the cold.

It didn't really frost this month, but it has been cold and wet many days, a continuation of the cold winter. What confuses me is that it is just the 'Golden Summer' and 'Red Belt' plants from one nursery. They were fine last week. The oldest leaves are fine also.

Maybe the nursery had them out in the frost? Dunno. Odd that damage wasn't apparent at time of purchase if it is frost damage.

Like I mentioned before, just clip those affected leaves and look out for new foliage before pulling them.
