Romneya coulteri
Hi group,
I have two Romneya coulteri ( Californian Poppy tree) side by side in the garden, both came from the same nursery and were planted at the same time eighteen months ago. Last year they flowered and looked great. This year one is fine and the other is drooping and the leafage is going yellow, in fact it looks as though the plant is dying slowly. Please has anyone any idea what might be happening? Could it be a disease? I would hate to lose both plants if it was. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance to all those that take the time to reply. David. |

Romneya are drought tolerant but assuming that you're watering them both at least a little during this very dry weather, it is just possible that you have got one plant that just isn't a good 'doer' - it happens and it's nobody's fault. OTOH, be sure you're not over watering them and leaving them absolutely soaked. AFAIK, Romneya are pretty trouble free and are resistant to e.g. honey fungus. Is it possible that the one in trouble could have had a mole burrow under it, leaving its roots dangling? Could it have been caught by spray drift from a herbicide or had the roots damaged in some way? When you planted it, did the root system look healthy and free of vine weevil? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (email address on website) |
