Well, It happened yet again. ! My potted Anise Hyssop plant -- which was lush, green and beautiful and well-flowered -- has turned brown and died. All the leaves and stems of the plant have turned brown, and it appears to be deceased. This same phenomenon happened last year with Anise Hyssop -- growing great, lush and green, lovely flowers, then seemingly suddenly, all plant parts turned brown. (By suddenly, I mean in several days to one week.) The plant has been growing in a med-large terra cotta pot in the garden, surrounded by other potted herbs and plants (which are all doing just fine). Is there a fungus or rust that is attacking the plant? Am I doing something wrong? I did plant the new plant in the same pot I had used for the Anise Hyssop last year, but had added fresh new potting mix and organic fertilizer as I usually do. The plant gets full sun for about 5 or 6 hours, then partial shade. I haven't checked the roots yet, but will. Maybe the heat of the pot is killing the roots -- but that seems so far fetched? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it because of all the rain we've been having here on the East Coast this Spring? The browning-out seemed to happen so suddenly, and is a repeat of what happened last year. Any help, suggestions, appreciated. Thanks !
