You might want to treat with a fungicide, the black leaves can be serious
for a small plant.

Thanks for the advice - I've got some fungicide somewhere which might be
suitable. In the meantime - rightly or wrongly - I've removed all the
affected leaves (less than 20% of the plant). I'm hoping that dormant
buds will break when the sun comes out (if the sun comes out...).
