I live in zone 5 and have sun patiens in the front yard they get afternoon and evening sun.I've noticed the last couple days that the leaves are turning yellow with some black spots. whats wrong ? |
Yellowing leaves with black spots sounds like a fungal disease of some sort. Be sure to keep water off the foliage when you water, and water early in the day so the foliage can dry out before nightfall. If only a few leaves are affected you can prune them off so the fungal spores don't have a chance to splash or blow onto the healthy leaves. You might also try using a garden fungicide to protect the rest of the plant. Hope you've caught it in time! |
