withering leaves on vinca minor
sleonardtx
13 years ago
Each spring, my vinca grows vigourously for about a month and then begins to die back. The symptoms begin by a withering of individual leaves, followed by the stem and finally the entire plant. The adjacent plant may or may not be affected. I lose up to 50% of my foliage each year.
Does anyone know a cause or a treatment for this?
