Hello, Any idea what happened to my Dicentra spectabilis?
It's been fine for 3 years, loads of foliage and flowers, but suddenly
this
year, this:

Is it a nutrient deficiency? Something wrong in the soil?
I think it could be a virus. If this is the case, is it treatable or
should
I simply be happy to have a new variegated variety? Apart from this
yellow
leaves, plant looks fine and even vigorous.
Thanks
Philippe
Looks to me like magnesium deficiency, although I have only ever seen
that in tomato foliage.

Thanks, I will try to add a magnesium supplement in the winter and see
how it goes next year. And if this is a virus, well, I don't think there
is much to do about it accorfding to the rhs website.
