Here are two images. I had 5 of these plants and the third one just went down. Is this a pest problem or a bug problem. I have use bug and fungus spray and neither have helped. Thanks

Are these Sunpatiens? If so, I have found them to be very finicky and hard to grow.

I don’t think so. I’m not really sure though. My wife picked them out. They grew well for 3 months but now just one plant at a time is dying

This is another picture from further back.

Probably due to the high heat we are having now. If in S.E. La. it's been in the mid 90's daily with heat index levels in the 105+ range.

I've lost several plants over the last month from our flower beds.

Could be too much water caused root rot.

I agree - if white sunpatiens it’s likely root rot - they are very susceptible to this. With the large amount and frequency of rain and heat we’ve had the past month conditions have been favorable for root rot.
