Hi. This is my first post. So if I'm getting it wrong let me know. Thanks.

Well, I bought a bunch 6 or 7 Stargazer bulbs probably at Home Depot.

Planted them. They came up last year. Remember I thought them a bit small. Read some more, maybe right here, learned that they grow taller with age.

This year I was all excited as they were going great guns. They were taller. They had buds. Then....the buds just started going all brown and dying mostly before they opened. A couple did open but there were all distorted and didn't open really well.

Whaaaaa...

Here are some picts.

Can anyone help me diagnose what they problem(s) could be? And what cures might be?

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

Thank you for you time.

I can't believe how much I've learned from DG without ever posting.
