My primroses have developed red and brown spots all over #800612

Asked July 11, 2022, 7:07 PM EDT

My primroses have developed red and brown spots all over the green leaves as they are blossoming.  On the bottom side of the leaves it looks like colonies of spores or mini craters that are grouped together.

Your plants cannot be saved and should be destroyed to avoid spreading the disease:
