Some weeks ago as part of my minor garden "makeover" I planted an Ajuga
reptans "burgundy glow". It soon started to flower. Now it appears to be
dying. Most of the leaves are brown and dead, and the stems back to the
centre. There's one flower spike still standing up, but looking sickly; the
others have fallen over.

It had compost and chicken poo when planted, it's had plenty of water, and
the plants around it all appear to be fine. Any ideas what could be wrong?
Was it just a duff plant perhaps?

The only chemical that may have been near it was Bayer Multirose fungicide I
sprayed on a nearby rose bush. Could that have harmed it?

Try lifting it out of the ground, if it pulls up easily with no roots
then it's got the dreaded vine weevil that often make a bee line for
Heucheras, ajuga (sometimes) primulas and er , well most stuff really.
