Black Stain

My heliotropes and delphiniums often suffer from these black stains + deformed
leaves. I thought they were mite attacks (as it is usual in my garden), but my lovely
poison (cypermethrin) does not have great effect on these. Can anyone help?

Heliotropes do better if you plant them somewhere which gets full sun in the morning but is shaded later in the day. An East or South-East facing border would be ideal and that should eliminate the darkening of the leaves.
Thanks for the replies. Both young heliotropes and delphiniums don´t actually get
any direct sunlight for the moment, perhaps there´s the problem. This darkness
in my garden might be the cause for soooo many maladies. But oy, that´s something
I can´t heal...
