evening primrose

Question

I have grown Evening Primrose from seed. The seedlings are now about six inches tall. But the leaves have a grey speckled look. I may have over watered them. Will they survive?

Answer 1

There are a few diseases that cause spots to appear on Evening Primrose leaves, but I think these will not kill the plants, and they may outgrow the problem. There is also the possibility of a nutrient deficiency, especially if the speckles are yellowish, so you could try adding compost or fertilizer.
