aqueligia problems
Last year I had some aqueligia's and they did pretty well, seeded and grew really well over the winter, then suddenly they have all died off, and a few that are left look like this ?
I noticed at the base of one of the plants it looked a bit slimy.
Such a shame, I really love these plants. I'm not sure it is mildew that is spreading across the country, but maybe it is.
Any advice gratefully received. Thank you. x

I really hope it's not that - fingers crossed.
I've got quite a few of the Touchwood Aquilegias - they appear healthy so far
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Oh what a shame they were all grown from seed... A neighbour 3 doors up all hers are fine. I wonder where it came from them.
I'll remove any sign of them tomorrow.
Am I right thinking I wont be able to have these now as the ground will be infected ?
Some of my plants do suffer with mildew as on light sandy soil. Other than water and mulch can I do anything to prevent it ?
Burn all infected plants.
There is nothing available to the amateur gardener to treat the aquilegia mildew.
