Can anyone suggest a reason why about 10% of my violas just drop dead
overnight after a couple of weeks of what seems like healthy growth? Often
it's just one in a line of half a dozen. Most are in semi shade so they
haven't been fried by the Indian summer or allowed to dry out.
I'm wondering whether plug plants can become plug bound in some way if
they put on too much growth too quickly.
I grow them every year and have never had this problem before, so any
thoughts appreciated
Leatherjackets?

No sign of any damage to the plant or the roots, they just flop and die.- Hide quoted text -

I wonder if they are damping off, stems rotting at ground level
