Hello! I just bought and planted several native plants from Outback Nursery this past weekend. Seemingly overnight, these brown spots have popped up all over my plants. Pictured here is stiff goldenrod, but they're also on others such as my blazing stars and black eyed susans. What could it be and what should I do to treat it?

Expert Response
I think they are fungal spots caused by wet leaves/weather. I don't think they are serious but I would call Outback and ask them.
