More pink mortality

[igenlode]

Unbelievably, one of my three replacement pink Swan River daisies withered pretty much overnight in exactly the same way as the originals did back in June. The central leaves were initially still alive, but subsequently started to die back as well. When I pulled it up there didn't seem to be a lot of root, but I don't know if that was cause or effect... I didn't find anything in the soil when I emptied out the pot other than a number of very healthy worms.

So far, the other two plants look fine. I note that we were apparently having a heatwave in June a few days before the first batch died, and wonder if I had been over-watering in both cases in order to compensate, or if this variety simply copes less well with extreme heat than the blue variety does :-(
