Something wrong with my Delphinium..

21 years ago

On the edges of some leaves they've turned black and are curling. Some of the buds look as though they are also black in parts and a little misshapen in parts. I don't see any bugs though. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Below I've linked to a Google search on Delphinium diseases so that you can look at some pictures and decide for yourself what the problem might be.

An additional suggestion is to visit one of the Flower type Forums, such as Perennials, where experienced delphinium growers might also help.

Thanks for the link! I think it is the first thing listed which is broad mite; mine looks just like the picture. I got some insecticide to spray on them and we'll see. Hopefully, it won't spread.
It's only on one plant now..Thanks again.

the stems with the buds are nice and tall and have started to bend over, starting about 1/3 way down the stem with the buds, only on some of the plants, the rest of the plant looks good.
