What is wrong with the leaves?

15 years ago

As I already complained here I have a lot of spring sickness this year, which still continues. Now, the last several days were very hot, mid 90s. I found dozens of scapes! But also found these leaves problems.

#1 - was very healthy before this

#2 - I found this on some other DLs too, it's like the tips of the leaves were dipped in something, and they got dry & curl somewhat

#3 - this I saw before, leaf streak? But just too much lately, and on many of the plants which were healthy looking just couple of days before

And Victorian Lace FFO (frankly, thought it would look worse, so I'm pleasantly surprised!)

Gee, sorry to see the leaf damage but your not alone. Can't tell what the problem is.

VL looks very good for a FFO.

I have the same thing on some of my foliage. Our weather has gone to extremes, Heavy downpours like 1 1/2 inches in just a few hours!! We even had a frost warning one morning a few weeks ago, just unheard of. It did get down to the upper 30's . Then heat in the 90's don't know if that is what is causing it, but I am cutting them off, It is just on a few plants.

In the first pic, is that a sprinkler right under the leaf? If so, could it be causing the damage? Just a thought. Your leaves look better than mine, which are all crispy with brown tips, thanks to the drought here. My rain dance is not working. :-(

In garden judges training classes, we refer to this as "sun scorch." We have it here with the extreme heat and drought (after a rather cool wet May). If it helps any, you're not alone!

Thank you all!
Thanks Julia.
Cindy - the same thing here. Just a mere week after frost - days of extreme heat. Except we haven't had our usual rains-downpours. The first is today.
Kathy that sprinkler was not used this year. Rain dance :)
Floota, it very well might be sun scorch then.
I'll cut those leaves too.
