Dont think you have! my pansies are fine but my violas where covered in tiny black spots all over every leaf a couple of weeks after planting. I think its the type of mild wet weather that encouraged this. I sprayed mine and they have recovered.

I think its down to being too wet and weather being warm, oedema i think its name is. Its when the cells take up to much water and burst therefore die.
Pansies dont really like the heat hence why they are used for winter bedding.
Any that are sold as summer, apart from Froilina, are normally winter into spring ones and summer if the weather is pansy friendly!.
