Interesting. I wonder why. All mine survived but most of them developed leaf curling. Since I had so many I started throwing them one by one in fear that their disease may spread to others. After throwing a lot I realised I need to spray whatever I had. Now I have 4 in the ground and spraying anti-fungal and malathion or similar not really knwoing what's causing the leaf curling. I have more seeds which I can give you when the weather warms up enough for sowing.

Khan sb it may be not fungus.mostly the curling of leaves is caused by mites specially broad mites.its good if you spray Bayer,s Oberon.its specially formulated for mites.mites are very tiny creatures not easily visible with naked eye.i have also purchased Red lady seeds from Islamabad.i,l sow it in FEB when danger of frost is passed.its an F-1 hybrid so i am expecting good yields,
you can also see details about Oberon on Bayer,s web site.i use it on Mari golds.
