I have a few large patches of common echinacea in my yard and throughout these patches are a few plants that look like this picture. I hope you can tell me what’s wrong and how to fix it as I love these flowers and so do the pollinators and birds. Thank you!

Thank you for contacting Ask Extension. I have linked three fact sheets regarding echinacea disease. None of the diseases listed seemed to correlate with your pictures. What do you think? Please let us know if you have further questions. Carol B. MGV

I agree with you that none of these seem to describe my echinacea problem. Can you recommend another place/person I can go to for advice/diagnosis?
Thanks so much!

Hello again! I'm not sure what county you live in in Ohio but I suggest you contact your local OSU extension agent. Give them a call. They may want pictures emailed or have you bring in a sample. Below is a link to find your local office. Carol B. MGV
