BUGGYCRAZY said:My Guess - Hot soil, dry soil, or pH too high. Try some acidifying fertilizer if you think it could be pH. Try double potting (putting the pot into a larger pot to shade it) if you think it is too hot. It really doesn't look like wet soil, more like it is suffering nutrients, maybe a bigger pot? they like lots of room for their bulbs. and they like acid soil.

thanks for the reply..

i dont think its been too hot, ok, we have had a 48 hour heatwave here with temps of 34c, but it was showing these symptoms before that, but here in the uk its been pretty cool since march.

it might be ph, its freshly planted along with other varieties in the pot. i mix compost with sand so its good for drainage. some are planted singly in rose pots and have the same conditions starting.
