Title: Are my Chianti sunflower leaves all right?
Post by: TomaC on June 02, 2007, 14:23:06
I've got three growing and and they all seem quite sturdy, but all the leaves have really dark black spots on them. I didnt know if this was normal for Chianti's or if they're sick?

I've noticed black markings in some of our cutting sunflowers too, they are growing alright so maybe just excess pigmentation...
