Ligularia stenocephala 'The Rocket' - leaves going all wilted and brown?!

Hi

I have grown 'Ligularia stenocephala The Rocket' for years and it has always been a really successful plant. However this year something has started happening to it that I have never witnessed before. It was doing really well up until 2 days ago when I noticed many of the leaves wilting and then turning brown. Obviously I have had to remove them but can anybody help as to the cause? It has been extremely windy over the last 3 days so not too sure if this is the reason - I have 3 plants in total and 2 have been hit, one really badly! Does anybody know anything about the plant and why this has happened?

Thanks

 

Mine are all wilting too Greengarry,not good weather for bog plants, its just so dry even in the boggy area where mine are planted, mine do seem to perk up a bit in the evening when the sun goes down,off to get the hose out later to try and wet them a bit, the brown could well be scorching from the wind.

 

Thanks Guys - I think your right, I know they love the boggy environment and generally over water them for this reason. However its reassuring for people to confirm the wind could be the cause. I am sure they will come back because they are normally so hardy. One of the few plants I have managed to find that grow extremely well in the shade and where I live - very high up in the Pennines.....
