Q&A – Why are my strawflower
plants dying?

Question:
Why are my strawflower plants dying?
​​
Answer:
These plants look like they are suffering from root rot. UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper says because strawflowers are drought tolerant, they can be easily overwatered, and if overwatered they can get root rot and die. Root rot often causes plants leaves to die from the top to the bottom.
