Problem with coneflower
Comments (2)Fungus in the soil. If you pull it up you'll notice the roots are very bad. This is bad this year because of the cooler temps we had in Spring and the wet weather. How has the weather been there this year? I had one plant like this in April. I sprayed all of my plants with Daconcil. That stuff works for me. It's too late when your plant is showing the signs of the problem. All you can dig it out and discard it....See MoreConeflower problems
Comments (1)Thanks for the heads up and the links. But I must say, the damage looks quite different than from aster yellows. The key is to know the difference....See MoreConeflower problem...

Comments (3)Renee, Thank you so much!! I had spent endless hours trying to find out what is causing this problem.. I looked up your suggestion and it fits to a tee, even the time the adult weevils are out. That explains why my early blooming coneflowers dont have any problems.. I just now have to figure out a way to control them next year. Possibly cutting back all my coneflowers and sunflowers and burning the clippings may help.. I am just glad to finally know what is causing this disaster.. Thanks again, Amy...See MoreDave Robinson
