    They are very prone to leaf spot. If the leaves have brown spots which are grey in the middle it is most likely this. Take off and burn affected leaves including those on the soil surface, cut back hard and see how they get on. Could also be a drainage problem.

    Red Robin does not enjoy exposed sites. Problem will be exacerbated when in pots, browning could also be linked to rootball drying out. Personally I would not plant Red Robin in planters (apart from the very large 1 m cubes) because they can be a troublesome in planters.

    Otherwise Red Robin is a super plant when planted in ideal conditions and ground.
