What is causing black spots on my flowering pansies?

Our Advice:

This is pansy leaf spot and is caused by a fungal infection which is worse in wet weather. Remove and dispose of any badly affected leaves and spray the plants with Fungus Clear Ultra from Scott's or Fungus Fighter Plus for ornamental plants from Westland.
