Silky dogwood with curling leaves and grey spots #889283

Asked November 03, 2024, 5:44 PM EST

Hello, We planted a silky dogwood in spring 2024 (from Lauren's nursery) in a moist to wet area of our garden with partial sun. It grew well and appeared healthy until mid-august when the leaves started to curl inwards. Is this normal for a silky dogwood towards the end of summer? Some of the leaves have grey spots. The attached photos were taken on October 22, 2024.

If so, is thereany actions that should be taken? Thank you.
