| I just started to see black tips on both the black eyed susan's and hillside black beauty. It seems to have covered all the leaves in an equal amount and what appears to be overnight. Any help would be great.
Do I maintain and let it fix it self?
Classic overwatering or underwatering?
Possibly a fungus?
Background-
Two lavender munstead never made it a week. I had a black spot on tips of helleborus, but only a couple leaves. I trimmed these off and have seen no other occurrences. The toad lilies that were getting any afternoon sun have scorches brown leaves. I have applied liquid fence rabbit deterrent, Eight by earl May last watering, and a slug deterrent a week ago. I am a little reluctant to just buy random stuff and spray unless I have strong conviction in the cause. Thanks |

| if you planted 2 weeks ago.. it transplant shock .. that leaf dmage happened within a day or two.. of you disturbing the roots.. but it took this long for the leaf to brown .... as long as the progression is arrested.. there is nothing to do ... the further you step back.. lol.. the lesser the damage will appear.. lol .. maintain PROPER WATERING ... which includes inserting your finger.. or using a trowel to dig a small hole .. to INSURE there is moisture at root depth.. NO GUESSING ... and ONLY YOU .. cna define such in your soil ... and dont look back ... i have 10 year old trees and shrubs showing worse damage than your new transplants .. in this heat and drought ... as to the losses.. that happens no matter what time of year you plant.. be honest.. you didnt expect a 100% success rate.. did you ??? .. lets try to do it earlier in the season next year ... and you will reduce you 'worry' level ... ken |

| If the photo you posted is representative of your problem - you don't have one. Yes, you started this garden during the worst possible time of the year. Combine that with the drought and heat and yes, you're going to have problems. But I'm sure you realize that. I would say from what I see, this plants reaction is simply do to stress. Get it through this year, allow it to establish a good root system and you'll probably be in better shape next year. Kevin |
