I have several Zinnia plants...the ones with the big pom pom type heads. I love them. However, on all 6 plants, the leaves are brown and curles around the edges and in about 1/2 inch. This has happened to all the leaves on every plant. It's no powdery mildew (I don't think) as I had that last year. I got rid of those plants and the soil they were in. There are no black spots on them either. Could this be from over watering? These plants are in fairly large containers, 2 plants per container.

I am posting two pictures. I wish there was a way to put more than one picture on a thread. The first picture is of the leaves. This plant seems to have either very slow opening buds or whatever is happening to the leaves is affecting buds too.

The second pictures is of my beautiful Zinnia that is growing fast and has multiple flower heads. However, the leaves are starting to do the same thing as the others.

Any ideas?
