look like my rhodie after a real bad winter.. and a drought the following year ...

where are you

whats it history .. how long in place .. how planted ...

did you have a soil test

did you amend the soil for it preferences??

imho.. its severely stressed ... and such plants have all kinds of problems.. and solving the secondary leaf problem.. usually doesnt solve the underlying stress ..

more facts please ...

straight down pix are hard to understand... how about some pix from the side.. including the whole plant ... we might be able to glean something with such ... [like planted to deep, etc]

This is a common problem on kalmia leaves that is caused by several species of fungi. It is more unsightly than a dire threat to the plant's overall health unless it becomes much more severe than your photos show. The fungus spores overwinter, so raking up and disposing of any fallen leaves can help. Since the infection effects the current year's leaves, weather conditions such as temperature and rainfall are important factors. Some years there can be minimal spotting while in others there can be a lot. Overhead watering should be avoided. Too much shade which allows the leaves to remain wet can also make infection more likely. There are several effective fungicides. Your County Extension Service or state ag department can recommend one for your specific area. No reason to spray until next year and do not remove the leaves.

Thank you for the input.
We have purchased new property year ago, Kalmia was there already that is why i do not know its history.
Plant is located in semi shade with around 5 hrs of sun during the peak of summer. Its located around 5 feet from the street and 50-60 feet away from the house that is why i rarely ever water it.
I did not use any type of fertilizer throughout the year. Its not planted to deep or to shallow,i will try get better picture later.
I was considering moving it closer to the house next season so i can take better car of it. I wasnt sure if there was anything i could do at this time to help it.
ALso what i remember from early in the spring, is that the shrub was covered in similar spots, but lost some of the affected leaves and grew a lot of new foliage and looked somewhat healthy.
The spots came back with a vengeance at the end of summer/early fall.
I live in eastern central Mass.
I have a picture taken while it was blooming

i have moved the plant close to the house . I am picking last season leaves when they yellow and getting rid of them, so far i dont think i have new spots just remainings of last years
