What's wrong with my Dicentra?
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: http://www.gogo.me.uk/IMG_1041sm.jpg http://www.gogo.me.uk/IMG_1043sm.jpg 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 |

Thanks Philippe Looks to me like magnesium deficiency, although I have only ever seen that in tomato foliage. http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profiles0701/magnesium.asp Regards, Emrys Davies. |

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.

Something wrong in the soil? Phillipe, my Dicentra has done this every year for at least 5 years, although the leaves on mine aren't quite as yellow as yours. It's always grown and flowered well. I thought it might be a magnesium deficiency so I used epsom salts, but it didn't make any difference to the leaves. I decided to believe that I had discovered a new variegated form and I was daydreaming about having it named after me!!! |
