Washington State October 15, 2010

I started a Lunaria (Money Plant) from seed in-house last Feb. It has never done well and I suspect I got some bad soil to start with.

This was a very rainy summer - and cool - in Washington. The plant wasn't growing well - lots of curling and dropping leaves - spores developed on the underside of the leaves and I was told I have an infestation of Downy Mildew.

I have trimmed most of the severly infected plants and cleared away the debris - this thinned the batch substqantially and I am not leaving it out in the rain for watering from now on. Should I just toss the whole lot (they are in an Italian clay planter)and start again or can something be done? There are still some spots on the few remaining leaves - they're only about 3- 4" high after their first season.
