# Hi friends! Waiting for the ground to dry a bit before I plant this…

_Posted by Emilia on 2026-05-17_

Hi friends! Waiting for the ground to dry a bit before I plant this purple Veronica in the ground. I just noticed this discoloration on the leaf, it’s currently in my greenhouse while we wait for it to get dry outside. Any ideas?

I would suggest either over-watering resulting in a fungus. If the watering is good then the fungus just appeared magically!

It may just resolve itself when you get it outside.

Hey! Update: it’s thriving outside now!
