Signs of High Temperatures in Pickerelweed

Symptoms

In summer, Pickerelweed should be maintained below 82℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's leaves might lighten, curl, become prone to sunburn, and in extreme cases, the whole plant could wilt and dry out.

Solutions

Remove any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to a spot offering shade from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
